According to Reuters, the company Lukoil has requested the U.S. authorities to grant a deferral for the sale of its foreign assets. This occurred after the imposition of sanctions and the collapse of the deal with Gunvor.

According to Reuters, citing three informed sources, the Russian oil corporation Lukoil has appealed to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for an extension of the period to complete business operations, which is related to the imposition of restrictive measures.
