Lavrov announced the beginning of the implementation of the agreement with the United States on the export of diesel

Russia and the United States have begun implementing an agreement to suspend restrictions on Russian diesel exports, which has already led to lower prices, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an article for the Kommersant newspaper.

An important contribution to energy security was the agreement of the leaders of Russia and the United States to suspend restrictions on the export of Russian diesel. We have already started its practical implementation, which immediately lowered prices, the minister stressed.

Lavrov added that Russia will continue to contribute to the stable operation of the global fuel and energy complex, strengthening global energy security and sustainable development of states.

Earlier, US President Donald Trump announced an agreement with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the supply of Russian diesel fuel to world markets. According to him, Russia agreed to supply more than 300 thousand tons of fuel, another 500 thousand tons during November and 1 million tons after that. Trump said the agreement would accelerate the decline in global diesel prices.

After that, the US Treasury issued a temporary permit for the sale, supply and import of Russian diesel fuel, including to the United States, until April 7, 2027. Russian Presidential Special Representative Kirill Dmitriev called the agreement beneficial for global energy markets.
