> Russian presidential envoy and RDIF CEO Kirill Dmitriev called EU officials’ criticism of the US-Russia diesel deal hypocritical, responding to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak’s statement that Europe has received $320.7 billion in Russian energy supplies since 2022. Russia is lifting its diesel export ban ahead of schedule, while the US is exempting Russian diesel supplies to global markets from sanctions until April 7, 2027.
