> Russian diesel will be transported to the United States mainly on Aframax-class tankers carrying about 100,000 tons, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said. He said freight, transport and insurance for such transactions would face no restrictions once sanctions are lifted. Novak earlier said supplies could reach the US market 15–20 days after contracts are signed.
