Diesel Deal Opens Way for More Russia-U.S. Co-Operation, Kremlin Envoy Says
Novak said the agreement would raise tax revenue and restore monthly diesel exports to 3.5 million metric tons by late 2026.
- President Donald Trump announced a diesel supply deal with Russia last Friday, with Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak confirming Wednesday that immediate shipments of more than 300,000 metric tons are included.
- Russia aims to restore monthly diesel exports to 3.5 million metric tons by the end of 2026, seeking to increase its global market share above 10%.
- Energy Information Administration data shows the United States transportation sector uses around 2.94 million barrels daily; the initial 300,000 metric tons—or 2.25 million barrels—is less than a full day's supply.
- European and Ukrainian officials criticized the deal, arguing that unlocking Russian energy revenue directly fuels the Kremlin's war effort; Russian state agencies are finalizing supply contracts with United States counterparts.
- Kremlin envoy Kirill Dmitriev suggested the agreement could facilitate broader Russian and United States economic cooperation, though Dmitry Peskov cautioned that Moscow is monitoring Washington policy shifts too early for systemic conclusions.
