Russia

Russia is a key supplier of diesel in a recent U.S. deal announced on 2026-10-12 by former President Trump, who said Russia would release over 4 million tons of diesel, with 300,000 tons supplied immediately. The agreement has drawn bipartisan criticism, with senators and representatives arguing it undermines existing sanctions on Russia. The deal follows a 2026-10-11 ceasefire agreement between Ukraine, Russia, and the EU to maintain energy flows while the U.S. supports Ukraine’s energy diversification.
