« In the coming days »: imminent signing of diesel contracts between Moscow and Washington

Russia is expected to sign export contracts for diesel amounting to 3 to 3.5 million tonnes in the coming days, reaching pre-sanction levels, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. These contracts, resulting from an agreement between President Putin and Donald Trump, aim to supply diesel on global markets, including directly to the United States, to help reduce worldwide prices. The deal has faced criticism from Ukraine and Europe but was supported by Trump, who claims it benefits the American people.
