Novak: Russian diesel enters the EU markets under other brands Russian diesel, the import of which has been banned in the EU for several years, still appears on the European markets under different brands. This was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexander Novak. "Such cases are possible, because Europe has banned the purchase of Russian oil and oil products, but we see that Russian diesel sometimes appears in Europe under different brands," Novak said in response to the news service Tahach. Since February 2023, there has been an embargo on the supply of Russian petroleum products (gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oil) to the European Union. In the future, the European Union plans to completely abandon energy resources from Russia. Three years ago, the Wall Street Journal wrote about the possible re-export of Russian raw materials from North Africa to Europe. In the fall of 2024, the Spanish media learned that within the framework of this program, diesel worth about 2 billion euros was supplied to Spain alone.
