Sherrill sent letters to 12 ports and terminals warning the operators that they were violating federal law by receiving fuel from Russia.

The press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov said today: The change in the route of tankers with Russian diesel towards the United States is not related to the results of the elections to the American Congress. A day earlier, the "Financial Times" reported that 2 out of every 3 tankers with Russian diesel going to American ports as part of a diesel deal between Moscow and Washington changed course. According to its data, one ship headed to the Mediterranean Sea, the second changed its destination to Brazil, and the third continues to move towards New York. According to the FT, the tracks changed because of buyers' concerns about sanctions risks and pressure from US politicians, not because of the Democrats' victory in the Nov. 3 election. 3 Keeping the same course: the RDIF head revealed the FT publication The head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and the special representative of the president, Kirill Dmitriev, denied to the "Financial Times" information about a change in the course of tankers with Russian diesel. On the X social network, he reported that ships destined for the United States continue to follow their intended routes. Dmitriev called the publication a fake, according to which two Russian tankers with diesel changed course and did not reach the shores of the United States. 4 Ready to return: Kazakhstan is eager to return to "friendship".
