Russian diesel released under Trump–Putin deal to reach Türkiye, minister says
Türkiye has secured part of the Russian diesel reaching world markets after the Putin–Trump agreement, Energy Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said, without disclosing volumes or terms.
Türkiye will receive part of the Russian diesel now reaching world markets under the agreement between Moscow and Washington, following talks held by Ankara, Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said on Kanal 7 on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Bayraktar noted that Russia had restricted diesel exports in recent months because of the problems it faced, and had now reached a deal with US President Donald Trump. "As a result of our talks, we will take part of this fuel to Türkiye," he said. He called the agreement important for the country's energy security but gave no details on volumes, prices or delivery dates.
What is known about the deal
Trump announced the agreement on Oct. 9 after a phone call with Vladimir Putin. He said Russia would supply up to 4.8 million tons of diesel to the US and world markets, with the last 3 million tons depending on the condition of Russian refineries. The US Treasury issued OFAC General License 135 the same day, allowing transactions involving Russian diesel until April 7, 2027.
The Kremlin said on Oct. 15 that Russian diesel had begun reaching world markets. Volodymyr Zelensky, European officials and several US Republicans opposed the deal.
Energy ties between Ankara and Moscow
Russia remains one of Türkiye's main energy suppliers alongside Iran and Azerbaijan, while Ankara is also expanding cooperation with the US and other partners. Bayraktar said there were no disruptions to diesel supply in Türkiye.
The minister also said the Osman Gazi platform, sent to the Sakarya gas field on Oct. 17, should roughly double daily Black Sea gas output to 20 million cubic meters.
