Russian diesel is flowing for export, but it is lacking in St. Petersburg. The effect of the agreement between Trump and Putin

The agreement between the White House and the Kremlin for diesel fuel has led to a significant shortage in northwestern Russia, particularly in St. Petersburg. Availability has dropped to less than 40% at gas stations, with long queues forming as drivers wait for fuel. Despite Russia's sufficient production capacity, the export to the U.S. has caused domestic supply issues. Experts argue that the U.S. does not need Russian diesel, as it is a net exporter. The deal, announced by Trump, has faced criticism as American companies are hesitant to engage due to legal repercussions from sanctions. The situation raises concerns about the impact on both the Russian fuel market and American firms.
