  "account": "Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov and US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent met on the sidelines of the G20 finance leaders conference in North Carolina, highlighting potential grounds for financial cooperation between the two nations, according to an Interfax report. Despite the ongoing war in Ukraine, both countries agreed there are grounds to develop financial ties, Siluanov said, adding that financial discussions often progress faster than political ones. Bessent informed Siluanov that no economic relief for Russia or agreements on other issues were possible until the war ends, Reuters reported. The US has imposed sanctions on Russian oil majors, but Bessent later issued licenses for the sale of seaborne Russian oil to help ease supplies.",
  "summary": "\"If we find strong points of common interest - and they do exist - we need to develop them,\" said Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov, according to Interfax.",
