Diesel deal, results: the supply of Russian fuel to the United States is in danger Two of the three tankers with Russian diesel have changed their route. Talisman went to the Mediterranean Sea to the coast of Algeria, and Valero headed to Brazil. The third tanker is still on its way to the United States, but is awaiting further orders and has no confirmed port of discharge. This too can change course, according to Kepler. The supply is facing political opposition in the US. New Jersey Governor Mickey Sherrill has warned port operators of sanctions for receiving Russian fuel.
