Russia boosts diesel output to meet US supply deal quotas

Russian refiners raised October diesel output to ~180,000 t/d after Moscow issued export quotas under a Kremlin-US supply agreement, reversing an early-month decline. The move signals Russia is prioritizing diesel exports to the US over domestic market needs, with domestic consumption at ~140,000 t/d. This confirms a shift in Russian energy export strategy, potentially easing US fuel supply concerns but raising questions about Moscow's leverage.
