US extends waiver for Lukoil fuel stations

The Trump administration has extended a waiver ​allowing Lukoil retail service stations to ‌operate outside of Russia until late October, a narrow allowance in sanctions the U.S. imposed last ​year to curb revenues supporting Moscow's ​war in Ukraine.

The waiver for about ⁠2,000 stations throughout Europe, Central Asia, the ​Middle East and the Americas has been ​extended until October 29, the Treasury Department said on its website on Tuesday.

Lukoil has about 200 branded fuel stations in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York. ​It is one ​of ⁠the top fuel retailers in Moldova and Bulgaria and operates ​about 600 stations in Turkey ​and ⁠more than 300 in Romania.
