According to information from the importer, the contract for the purchase of 25,000 tons of fuel per month for a period of one year has already been agreed with a Russian refinery. For the time being, all that remains is to present the guarantees to complete the negotiations, which should happen within 20 days, according to Uptime's partner, Eraldo Rosa.
This authorization obtained by Uptime also ended up encouraging the Planalto Palace, according to the presidential assistant who is aware of the conversations. According to this member of the government, the negotiation drew a lot of attention from the government, which began working on a plan to expand negotiations and sign a more comprehensive agreement with the Russia. He mentions something similar to what India already does, which is to buy Russian refined oil at low prices.
According to this assistant, the concern of President Bolsonaro and the government is supplying the domestic market, and this aspect is seen with greater importance than any criticisms about the country breaking sanctions on Vladimir Putin. In the understanding of the government, several other countries in Europe are establishing exceptions with an eye on their local interests and Brazil is using the same strategy.
Possibly, within a maximum period of 30 days, Brazil will already have some more concrete information and, very soon, it should start importing, according to the presidential assistant.
