The agreement between the leaders of Russia and the United States to suspend restrictions on Russian diesel exports has already been implemented and has resulted in a drop in prices, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an article for the Kommersant newspaper.
According to him, the agreements reached were an important contribution to ensuring energy security. Lavrov noted that the parties had already begun their practical implementation, which he said had an immediate effect on the cost of fuel. He added that Moscow intends to continue promoting the normalization of the global fuel and energy complex.
