    Russia badly wanted to sell that oil. Local governors where already making noise that buyers were in for legal trouble and last night’s results put the final nail in the coffin.

      Russia had an export ban on diesel. What is your reasoning for believing Russia “badly wanted to sell” it?

      It’s a critical resource for their invasion of Ukraine. It is in short supply globally, as well as within Russia. Why would they want to sell it?

        That was the weirdest thing about that deal: Russia is forced to import diesel because Ukraine has taken so much of the refinery capacity offline.

        So Putin would be sending diesel to America and make that up by importing more? Clearly, this was a PR operation aimed at making it seem Trump was doing something about diesel prices, and that it was Ukraine’s fault that they were so high.
