Russia has extended the ban on the export of most diesel fuel until January. Bloomberg. The Russian government extended the general ban on diesel exports by producers until the end of January, while allowing some supplies to the world market. Similar exemptions were introduced in October and are planned for November. Russia eased the terms of its export ban this month after Donald Trump said he was working with Vladimir Putin to get Russian diesel back into world markets. According to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, Russia plans to export about 2.15 million tons of diesel fuel in November. For comparison, about 510,000 tons were shipped in October.
