In Short: Russian President Vladimir Putin announced his country would supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets, but attacks in Ukraine complicated the situation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia would immediately supply 300,000 tons of diesel to the U.S. and global markets, according to Newscord. This move was aimed at addressing the ongoing energy crisis and providing relief to markets strained by recent tensions.
However, the situation was complicated by a reported attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia, which killed at least eight people, including three children, according to regional authorities and police. The attack came hours after the U.S. and Russia announced the diesel supply deal.
The U.S. Treasury suspended sanctions on Russian diesel until April 7, allowing for the immediate supply of the fuel. Putin's envoy, Kirill Dmitriev, welcomed the deal, stating that Russia-US cooperation on diesel and energy would benefit the world.
