Kremlin ties diesel export resumption to sanctions relief and Black Sea safety
InterfaxLO·RU·about 4 hours ago
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that sanctions on diesel imports must be lifted, emphasizing that only a comprehensive solution is possible. This marks a notable shift in rhetoric, as Moscow typically frames sanctions as illegitimate and unlikely to be reversed. The statement suggests potential economic pressure or a diplomatic overture, though no concrete policy change or negotiation is confirmed.
