Russia resumes diesel exports to Turkey and Brazil after US-licensed lifting of ban
Russia has restarted diesel fuel exports to Turkey and Brazil after lifting its export ban, a move enabled by a temporary US Treasury license issued in the wake of a phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. Two tankers have already sailed from the Russian Baltic port of Primorsk to Turkey and Brazil, and Russia says it is ready to scale up deliveries. President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly criticized the US decision as weakness that will encourage Russia to continue the war.
