First tanker of Russian diesel sets sail for the US
The first tanker of Russian diesel has embarked on its journey to the United States under a new import deal agreed upon by U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, despite Moscow's ongoing invasion of Ukraine. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed the departure of the oil tanker, revealing no further details about the shipment. The diesel arrangement aimed to alleviate high fuel prices ahead of the midterm elections, though it has drawn criticism in both the U.S. and Ukraine.
