The Russian Federation can export up to 3.5 million tons of diesel per month by the end of the year
Russia will be able to restore diesel exports to levels exceeding those defined by US President Donald Trump – exports may reach 3-3.5 million tons by the end of 2026. This was stated by DeputyPrime Minister of Russia Alexander Novak, Reuters reports.
On Friday, Trump said that Russia would immediately supply 300 thousand tons of diesel fuel to the US and world markets, in November – another 500 thousand tons and 1 million tons in December.
"We will see how the situation develops further, but Russia has the opportunity to increase the export of diesel fuel," Novak said on the state TV channel "Russia-24".
He noted that by the end of 2026, exports could return to pre-crisis levels and grow to 3-3.5 million tons per month.
Novak also said that Russia is already seeing the effect of the deal on global diesel fuel markets, where "prices have fallen by about 5-6%."
He added that American data, according to which the value of Russian resources sold to Europe is $250 billion, is "significantly underestimated."
