The main result of the Russian-American agreement on diesel supplies is the temporary easing of sanctions. This was stated by Alexey Belogoriev, Director of Research at the Institute of Energy and Finance. He was quoted by Radio KP.

He noted that currently the production of diesel fuel in Russia exceeds domestic demand. As a result, there is a surplus that can be supplied to foreign markets. This does not threaten Russian motorists. He also called the lifting of export restrictions expected, since the need to free up storage facilities would have arisen without negotiations.

As for how Russian supplies will affect the situation with diesel prices in the United States, Belogoriev doubted that the effect would be immediate. The first batches of Russian fuel will not be able to ensure a drop in the cost of this fuel on the domestic American market.

Earlier, Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik said that Russia and the United States, having agreed on diesel supplies, took a serious step towards each other.
