Talks on signing contracts for diesel fuel supplies between Russia and the United States are continuing intensively. Agreements are expected to be reached in the coming days.
Globalinfo.az reported this, citing Kirill Dmitriev, Putin’s special representative for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund.
Dmitriev said contacts between Moscow and Washington on the matter were continuing almost hourly and the process was moving forward quickly.
“We are engaging very actively with the American side. Everything is moving very quickly. Our ties in the energy sector were previously dealt such a serious blow that we are now actively restoring them. We are seeking to promptly resolve many logistical issues and organise supplies efficiently. Everything will happen in the coming days,” he said.
Dmitriev said economic cooperation between Moscow and Washington was not limited to diesel fuel supplies. He said there were other economic and investment opportunities that could benefit both countries and global markets.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said diesel fuel would be supplied to the United States and other global markets under direct contracts.
He said supply terms were currently being discussed at the level of the relevant ministries and companies.
Novak said it would take some time to conclude a contract for sending the first batch to the United States and to load the tanker.
According to the Russian deputy prime minister, by the end of 2026 the country could increase diesel fuel exports to 3–3,5 million tonnes per month and restore previous supply volumes.
