Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced on Friday that Russia is prepared to commence diesel shipments to the United States and other nations starting in October. This increase in exports is expected to continue through November and December as refineries resume operations after maintenance periods, according to Novak's remarks.
The confirmation came after a telephone conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, during which Trump reportedly conveyed Putin's agreement to supply diesel to the US and global markets as fuel prices escalate due to the conflict with Iran. The Kremlin stated that the primary discussion in the call centered on ending the war in Ukraine, with peripheral mentions of Iran.
However, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky expressed disapproval of Trump's decision, asserting that accepting Russian fuel to alleviate US shortages was unworthy and weak. Zelensky criticized the move as both dishonest and unworthy of Russia as a partner, describing it as a poor decision.
