Saudi Aramco CEO said the vast majority of these crude inventories are currently unavailable.

kallas, the EU's high representative for foreign affairs and security policy, urged on Monday that the US impose new sanctions on Russia rather than broker a diesel supply deal, saying sanctions are needed to end the war and to remove the effects of recent refinery attacks on fuel markets. Trump said last Friday he is working with Putin to push Russian diesel into global markets to ease fuel prices ahead of the US midterms, a step that would break years of sanctions. kallas said greater sanctions and pressure, and US alignment with EU measures, are the path to forcing Russia to end the war.

Ukrainian President Zelenskiy said the volume of diesel supplied by Russia will not affect global markets.
