Russia is working on joint projects with the United States in the Arctic region, Putin said. As a result of his words, the shares of Russian oil and gas companies soared. Russia is exploring the possibility of working together with American partners in the Arctic region, Vladimir Putin said at the Forum of Gas Exporting Countries in Moscow. "In the North Pole, which I mentioned, we are actively working with many countries. Countries around the world are interested in working together. Just recently, European partners and Chinese partners have been working with us in our fields. Now we are looking at the possibility of working together with American partners," Putin said. He also called for an end to conflicts and the lifting of sanctions to stabilize the global gas market. As a result of Putin's statements, the growth of shares of Russian oil and gas companies accelerated. According to TradingView, during trading, Gazprom shares rose by 3.79%, NOVATEK - by 2.38%, Lukoil - by 2.51%, Rosneft - by 1.26%, and Surgutenpapgaz - by 1.37%. Moscow and Washington have discussed lifting sanctions on Arctic LNG-2 in exchange for Novatek providing technology for a gas project in Alaska, sources have told the Financial Times (FT). Novatek denied the connection between the supply of technology and the removal of the restrictions. As revealed to the NYT and FT, Novatek also secretly financed the American Polar LNG, which developed a $25 billion project in Alaska, through an intermediary in the United Arab Emirates. The negotiations between Russia and the US also affect the sale of Lukoil's foreign assets, which the company put up for sale due to US sanctions. According to the NYT, Putin personally discussed the agreement with US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner on September 5. A group of investors led by billionaire Todd Bowley is competing for the purchase of assets worth about 20 billion dollars. This includes businessmen associated with Trump's entourage and the US state corporation DFC. The deal has not yet been finalized and requires approval from the US Treasury Department.
