Russia to extend diesel export ban to end of 2026 while allowing quota shipments for US deal, Reuters reports

Russia will keep its ban on diesel exports in place until the end of 2026 but let some companies ship fuel under quotas to meet its new supply commitment to the United States, Reuters reported on 29 October, citing two people familiar with the discussions. The current ban had been due to expire on 31 October. According to the report, export quotas are set to rise to 2 million tonnes in November, and a government order expected in early November would add refiners to the exemption list and set new limits. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak has said three diesel tankers are already under way, with a fourth due to sail on 28 October.
