The US Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on Oct. 9 issued
General License No. 135 permitting transactions previously banned under Russia
sanctions involving Russian-origin diesel — including sale, delivery, discharge
and import into the United States. The license is effective through 00:01 EDT on
April 7, 2027 (12:01 Beijing time on April 7, 2027). It continues to prohibit
debits from accounts at US financial institutions held by the Russian central
bank, the Russian National Wealth Fund or the Russian finance ministry.
