"We discussed promising projects that could contribute to the restoration of Russian-American relations and the current crisis on global energy markets, Russian negotiator Kirill Dmitriev wrote in a Telegram post."
"Russia has received 6bn (5bn) from selling its fossil fuels in the fortnight since the start of the US-Israel war with Iran, data suggests. The revenues imply Russia made an extra 672m in oil, gas and coal sales during March."
"Hungary returned two seized armoured bank vehicles to Ukraine on Thursday but withheld cash and gold worth millions, citing an investigation into alleged money laundering, a move that Kyiv has denounced as theft."
Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev reported productive discussions with US negotiators in Florida regarding energy markets and Russian-American relations. The US issued a 30-day license allowing countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea to stabilize global energy markets. The US previously lifted some sanctions on Russian oil, drawing criticism for funding Russia's war efforts. Russia generated approximately 6 billion dollars from fossil fuel sales following the start of the US-Israel conflict with Iran. Separately, Hungary seized Ukrainian armored bank vehicles containing cash and gold, citing money laundering investigations, which Ukraine characterized as theft. Hungary detained seven Ukrainians transporting the assets, later expelling them. The EU proposed inspecting the Druzhba oil pipeline in Ukraine.
