Türkiye and Russia Reach Agreement on Diesel Fuel Supplies

14:26 - 23.10.2026


October 23, Fineko/abc.az. Turkish Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Alparslan Bayraktar announced a general agreement with Russia regarding the supply of diesel fuel to Türkiye.

Speaking on the sidelines of the Verona Eurasian Economic Forum in Istanbul, Bayraktar noted that while commercial entities still need to confirm the details, an overall consensus has been established.

The move follows the partial lifting of Russia's diesel export ban on October 10, granted after a temporary waiver issued by the US Treasury (OFAC) in the wake of talks between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
