Zelenskyy says letting Russia sell diesel to US is 'investment in war'
- On Friday, the United States Treasury Department issued a general license authorizing the importation of Russian-origin diesel fuel into the United States until April 7, 2027.
- This authorization follows a deal between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to supply diesel to American and global markets, aiming to stabilize volatile fuel prices.
- Trump stated Russia will supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel immediately, followed by 500,000 tons in November, one million tons thereafter, and 3 million tons based on refinery conditions.
- Global diesel prices surged after attacks on refineries in Russia and Houthi militia strikes in Saudi Arabia tightened fuel supplies, forcing Moscow to ban diesel exports.
- The Treasury Department clarified that the measure does not lift all sanctions against Russia or the Russian Federation, permitting only specific diesel-related transactions.
