MOSCOW, October 12. /TASS/. Russian and US companies, along with the energy ministries of both nations, are already in talks regarding the supply of Russian diesel fuel, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in an interview with the Vesti news program.

"In accordance with the agreements reached between President Putin and President Trump, the government promptly issued a directive partially lifting the ban on diesel fuel exports, allowing its supply to global markets, including the United States. The relevant sanctions that were previously in place have been waived by our American counterparts for a six-month period.
