A Malta‑flagged tanker named Agioi Fanendes left Russia’s Primorsk port on Friday, carrying 298,000 barrels of diesel. The shipment is the first since President Donald Trump agreed to a deal with President Vladimir Putin to release more fuel into the global market. The vessel is bound for New York and is expected to arrive on November tenth. The departure was confirmed by the Kremlin and tracked by MarineTraffic. Energy analysts say the cargo’s arrival will have limited impact on U.S. diesel prices.
