Russia is not yet negotiating with American companies on returning to oil and gas projects Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak referred to the likelihood that Exxon will return to oil and gas projects in Russia. "Our position has always been open to foreign partners and foreign investments. And if they come back or not, it mostly depends on them," Novak said. The Financial Times previously reported that Moscow and Washington are discussing the return of American companies to Russian oil projects, including the development of the Sakhalin shelf, as well as the restoration of oil supplies to Europe through the Druzhba pipeline. According to the publication, the economic cooperation is seen as an incentive for Russia's participation in the peace negotiations for Ukraine.
