克里姆林宫助理尤里·乌沙科夫周三表示,俄罗斯和美国正在讨论受制裁的俄罗斯石油生产商卢克石油公司(LKOH.MM)国际资产的未来,据国家电视台报道。
Russia and the United States are discussing the future of the international assets of sanctioned Russian oil producer Lukoil (LKOH.MM), Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov said on Wednesday, according to state television.
卢克石油因乌克兰战争受到美国制裁后,将其国际资产挂牌出售。美国私募股权公司凯雷集团(CG.O)于1月同意收购这些资产,但本月表示已不再积极推进该交易。
Lukoil put its international assets up for sale after being placed under US sanctions over the war in Ukraine. US private equity firm Carlyle Group (CG.O) agreed in January to acquire them but said this month that it was no longer actively pursuing the deal.
乌沙科夫发表上述言论之前,俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周三在圣彼得堡会见了美国特使史蒂夫·威特科夫。
Ushakov's comments came after Russian President Vladimir Putin met US envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg on Wednesday.
除讨论解决乌克兰冲突的努力外,双方还审议了一系列广泛的经济项目,包括若干大规模倡议,但乌沙科夫没有具体说明。
In addition to discussing efforts to resolve the Ukraine conflict, the two sides reviewed a broad range of economic projects, including several large-scale initiatives, though Ushakov did not name them.
乌沙科夫表示,对卢克石油的制裁问题及其外国资产的出售属于正在讨论的同一揽子事项。
Ushakov said that the issue of sanctions against Lukoil and the sale of its foreign assets were part of the same package of matters under discussion.
据国际文传电讯社援引克里姆林宫发言人德米特里·佩斯科夫的话说,出售所需的美国财政部许可证可以毫无困难地延期,并补充说华盛顿可以在必要时“轻松”延长。
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, quoted by Interfax, said a US Treasury licence required for the sale could be extended without difficulty, adding that Washington could "easily" prolong it if necessary.
卢克石油的投资组合最初估值约220亿美元,曾吸引至少十几家公司的兴趣,包括埃克森美孚(XOM.N)和Pornhub前所有者贝恩德·伯格迈尔。
The Lukoil portfolio, initially valued at about $22 billion, had attracted interest from at least a dozen companies including Exxon Mobil (XOM.N) and the former owner of Pornhub, Bernd Bergmair.
