On September 5, Vladimir Poutine discussed a deal worth approximately $20 billion concerning Lukoil's foreign assets with US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow. Lukoil, under US sanctions since October 2025, is seeking to sell its assets including oil fields, refineries, and gas stations across eleven countries.
