Russia will dispatch its first tanker with diesel for the United States on Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, according to the Vedomosti news ​outlet, after a deal with Donald Trump.

Russia lifted its self-imposed ban ​on diesel exports on October 9, introduced to tackle domestic shortages triggered ⁠by Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries, after reaching the deal with Trump to supply diesel to ​global markets.

Novak said on Wednesday the vessel will carry 40,000 metric tons of the fuel, ​adding that the paperwork on the fuel supply is nearing its completion, according to media reports. He did not name the port from which the cargo will be delivered.
