The Russian Embassy has been trying to secure 3,000 litres of home heating oil from outside of the capital as companies refuse to deliver supplies.
The Irish Mirror exclusively revealed on Tuesday that the Dublin premises has written to the Government asking them for help as they are running short on fuel for hot water and heating.
An oil company source said: “The Russians were desperate and were looking for 3,000 litres of home heating oil as soon as possible. They would have been willing to make full payment up front before delivery. Money was no object, they would have paid anything.
