The US has officially asked for clarification regarding what legislative amendments connected with Lukoil, Russian oil and the derogation for its import have been adopted by Bulgarian parliament.  

The request was made by the Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives. The Bulgarian embassy in Washington DC has sent a letter to the National Assembly, the government and the ministries of energy and of foreign affairs, asking for information regarding what answer to give. The Sega newspaper website says it has the text of the document. The US congressmen want to know whether there is a loophole for Lukoil and for Russian oil. They ask whether it is true that the export of fuels made out of Russian oil will continue after 31 December, and whether it is true that the price cap of USD 60 per barrel of Russian crude oil will be applied with regard to its import in 2024.
