Russia's Novak Says Russian and US Governments in Talks on Diesel Supplies
MOSCOW — Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said talks between the Russian and U.S. governments are under way to ensure diesel supplies, and that a number of Russian refineries have completed maintenance, according to a European markets roundup from FXStreet on October 15, citing Novak's remarks around the European market close.
A related Reuters market summary noted that potentially increased diesel supply under a U.S.-Russia deal could ease fuel-market tightness, although geopolitical disruptions continue to threaten oil supplies. Germany's Finance Minister Klingbeil, speaking around a G20 meeting, called it worrying that the United States is opening itself to Russia again. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy was reported by the Financial Times as saying Ukraine will resume strikes on Russian refineries. UN News reported on October 14 that Ukraine faced another night of attacks, with at least three people killed in Kyiv, hundreds of thousands left without power, and Kharkiv targeted by missiles and drones.
Novak oversees Russia's energy portfolio. Specific arrangements and progress in the Russia-U.S. diesel talks await further official announcements from the two governments.
