Deputy Prime Minister Novak said Russia will immediately begin lifting diesel
export restrictions ahead of schedule. Moscow plans additional diesel shipments
to the United States and other partners of 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000
tons in November and 1,000,000 tons in December. Novak added Russia’s
domestic market will be fully supplied. The government had previously extended
an export ban on diesel, marine fuel and gas oil through Oct. 31.
