Jared Kushner and Kirill Dmitriev discussed a potential purchase of Lukoil's overseas assets. The proposal involves the US International Development Finance Corporation and investors from Qatar and the United Arab Emirates. The discussion centers on Lukoil's international businesses, such as its Georgian petrol-station operations, as temporary US sanctions permissions approach their expiry dates. No completed sale of the Georgian business has been confirmed.
