MOSCOW, April 21 (Reuters) - The board of Russia's top oil producer, Rosneft, has approved deals to sell more than 2 million tonnes of crude oil, worth more than $1.5 billion, to BP (LSE: BP.L - news) , the Kremlin (Berlin: KMLK.BE - news) -controlled company said in a regulatory filing on Monday.

Last year, Rosneft announced deals worth more than $15 billion to sell its crude oil and products to BP, a related party that owns almost a fifth of the state-controlled oil company.

It said the board approved last week plans to sell up to 840,000 tonnes of crude oil to BP for up to $638.4 million under free-on-board Novorossiisk terms.

Rosneft will also sell up to 1.2 million tonnes of crude oil to BP for up to $900 million under "FOB" Primorsk terms.
