The Kremlin referred to the change in the routes of tankers with Russian fuel as part of deals with the United States. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the shipments commercial and refused to reveal details. He emphasized that all the diesel will find its buyers, and the logistics are not related to the American elections. Earlier, the "Financial Times" reported that two ships with Russian diesel, headed for the United States, suddenly changed course. Peskov also said that the Russian delegation consisting of Yana Lantertova and Kirill Dmitriev received visas to meet with Melania Trump. The Kremlin spokesman added that Russia will secure its interests in Ukraine in any way, and accusations against pro-Russian hackers in Europe are absurd.
