Russia plans to extend a ban on diesel exports until the end of this year, while allowing some companies to ship fuel under a quota system, allowing Moscow to meet its new export commitment to the United States, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The decision comes following an agreement between Moscow and Washington for the supply of diesel fuel, following a phone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump earlier this month.
