Russia says it will send first diesel cargo to US on Thursday
The first shipment totals 40,000 metric tons as Moscow seeks to ease U.S. diesel prices and resume exports after refinery damage.
- On Thursday, Russia will ship its first tanker of diesel fuel to the United States, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, marking the beginning of the agreed supply arrangement.
- President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agreed to supply Russian diesel during an October 9 phone call, after which the Treasury Department issued a temporary license allowing fuel to reach global markets.
- Russia is preparing to send several tankers as part of the diesel deal, Putin said during a meeting with Steve Witkoff, with the first shipment carrying 40,000 tons and future plans including 500,000 tons in November.
- Trump said the two sides agreed on the "immediate" delivery of Russian diesel, though Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the agreement as an "investment in war."
- Novak stated the signing of the relevant contract is "in its final stage," adding that further shipments "will follow"; Russia aims to fully restore its diesel fuel export volumes by the end of 2026.
