The Kremlin says a first tanker of Russian diesel sets sail for the US despite Ukraine’s protests
The shipment is about 40,000 tons, or roughly 300,000 barrels, and would be the first Russian diesel delivery to the United States since July 2023.
- On Friday, the Kremlin announced that the first tanker carrying Russian diesel has set sail for the United States, following a recent agreement between President Donald Trump and President Vladimir Putin.
- The agreement marks a sudden policy reversal, occurring weeks after Trump signed a sanctions package directing up to 100% tariffs on Russian oil, which he subsequently put on hold.
- Marine intelligence firm Kpler reported the vessel is tracking toward a New York arrival on Nov 7, carrying 40,000 tons of diesel—roughly 300,000 barrels—marking the first delivery since July 2023.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy called the move "a weak decision by strong partners," while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, "The first oil tanker has sailed off to customers, and regular supplies will continue."
- Russia's diesel production remains strained by Ukrainian long-range drone strikes on refineries, while Kyiv continues pleading with foreign countries to tighten sanctions and deny Moscow revenue for its ongoing invasion.
