According to Reuters, daily diesel fuel production in Russia rose from about 160,000 tonnes in early October to almost 180,000 tonnes after the easing of export restrictions. The increase is linked to the agreements between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump on October 9 to resume supplies to the US. At current rates, export capacity could exceed one million tonnes per month.
Otabek YusupovVolodymyr Zelensky said he could halt attacks on Russian oil refineries if one of three conditions is met: a mutual energy truce, access to Starshield over Russian territory, or additional missiles for the Patriot. He also said the US transmission of ballistic missile warnings has been restored.
Otabek YusupovMilitary expert Yevgeny Mikhailov linked the escalation of Trump's criticism of Zelensky to disagreements over strikes on Russian refineries and Kyiv's unwillingness to follow Washington's recommendations. In his view, a complete rupture of relations is premature for now, but the pressure may continue.
Javlon TursunovDeputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that Russia expects to restore diesel fuel exports, including supplies to the US, by the end of 2026. Other countries will also be able to receive Russian diesel if sufficient volumes are available beyond the needs of the American market, but refineries have not yet returned to their previous production levels.
Javlon TursunovDeputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that Russia could return to its previous volumes of diesel fuel exports by the end of 2026 if the planned schedule is maintained. The pace of supply recovery depends on the capabilities of domestic refineries, which are not yet able to ensure the previous volumes. Before restrictions were introduced, monthly exports amounted to about 3.5 million tonnes.
Javlon TursunovVolodymyr Zelensky told US senators that Ukraine is ready to halt strikes on Russian oil refineries for 30 days, as Donald Trump demands, on condition of deliveries of interceptor missiles for Patriot systems. He also accused the Pentagon of delaying deliveries under the PURL program and reported the cessation of warnings about Russian missile strikes.
