Russia has agreed to supply over 4.8 million tonnes of diesel to the United States and global markets in a deal between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The agreement aims to ease pressure on global diesel supplies and reduce fuel prices ahead of the November 3 US midterm elections. The deal, announced on October 9, 2026, includes a phased supply arrangement, with Russia delivering an additional 3 million tonnes of diesel if its refineries remain operational.
The agreement has drawn criticism from Ukraine, which warns that increased Russian energy exports could provide Moscow with additional revenue to fund its war efforts. The US Treasury Department issued a temporary license allowing Russian diesel imports until April 7, 2027, easing sanctions imposed on Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine.
