The first tanker carrying Russian diesel fuel is scheduled to depart for the United States on Thursday, October 22, according to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. The vessel will have a displacement of 40,000 tons, with additional shipments to follow. Novak stated that the corresponding contract is in its final stage of signing. Diesel supply destinations will depend on Russia's export capacity beyond U.S. needs, with other countries potentially receiving fuel once Russian refineries reach full output by year's end.
