Russia’s deputy prime minister Alexander Novak says the country could export about 3.0 to 3.5 million metric tonnes of diesel per month by the end of 2026. He frames the outlook as a potential return to volumes seen before the “crisis,” suggesting capacity and trade flows are improving.
Multiple outlets report the comments with similar figures, citing Novak’s remarks to Russian state television (Rossiya-24). Free Malaysia Today and Cyprus Mail both describe the range as consistent with “usual” or pre-crisis exporting levels. The reporting also indicates Novak connects the expected recovery to arrangements reached with external partners, though details of the agreement are not fully described in the excerpts provided.
