MOSCOW, April 15 (Reuters) - Western sanctions over Russia'sactions in Ukraine have not impacted BP's business inRussia, chief executive Bob Dudley said on Tuesday, reiteratingthe oil major stands by its Russian investments.
Dudley came under pressure at a BP shareholder meeting lastweek when some questioned the oil's major investments in Russiaat a time of the most serious East-West rift since the end ofthe Cold War due to Russia's annexation of Crimea.
Dudley is in Moscow to take part in a meeting of the RussianGeographical Society, where President Vladimir Putin heads theBoard of Trustees. Dudley is a member of the board.
"We are rock solid with our investments in Rosneft and (we)will stand by our investments. For us it's business as usual,"he told reporters before the meeting.
BP owns a 19.75 percent stake in Kremlin-controlled Rosneft, which became the world's top listed oil producer lastyear after the $55 billion acquisition of Anglo-Russian TNK-BPoil firm, once headed by Dudley.
BP's share in Rosneft accounts for about a third of itstotal oil output.
"We've got a 19.75 pct stake, it's a good stake, we arehappy with that stake, it's a very substantial stake and so(we've) no plans to change that," Dudley said.
It is not clear whether Dudley, a U.S. citizen who hadstrained relations with Russian officials during his time as anoil executive in Moscow, is meeting Putin on Tuesday.
