Putin's special representative and head of the RDIF Kirill Dmitriev wrote on X, attaching a screenshot of the headline of the Financial Times article. The newspaper's material reports on the collapse of the diesel deal between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin on the supply of Russian diesel to the United States. Two of the three tankers initially bound for the United States changed course, the publication said, citing data from ship tracking services. The Sierra Leonean-flagged tanker Larue changed its destination to Brazil, while the Talisman, under US, UK and EU sanctions, entered the Mediterranean Sea and changed its destination to receive orders. The ship is now off the coast of Tunisia, ASTRA has checked. The third tanker under the flag of Malta continues its journey towards the United States, but has also indicated its destination as far as the orders are concerned - the unloading port has not yet been confirmed.
