The first shipment of Russian diesel to the United States could take at least two to three weeks, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said. He said the two sides should reach an agreement as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Russian Energy Week, Novak said the process would involve concluding a contract, loading the diesel, chartering a vessel and sending it to the buyer.<\/p>\n

Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed petroleum product supplies, among other issues, during a phone call on October 9. Putin said Russia had reaffirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to the United States and the global market.<\/p>\n

Novak previously told TASS that Russia planned to lift its diesel export ban ahead of schedule. Russia is ready to supply 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and one million tonnes in December. Monthly supplies could later rise to three million tonnes, he said.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the US administration has issued a general licence authorising Russian diesel supplies to the global market until April 7, 2027.<\/p>\n

The Russian Energy Week international forum is being held in Moscow from October 14 to 16. It is supported by the Russian government, the Ministry of Energy and the Moscow government. The Roscongress Foundation is organising the forum, with TASS as its information partner.<\/p>\n
