Kremlin says Russian diesel exports to US will proceed as agreed

The Kremlin's insistence that commercial terms remain undisclosed, even as tankers reroute under political pressure, highlights how energy trade is being pulled into domestic US politics. The explicit effort to decouple the rerouting from the midterm results suggests Moscow wants to preserve the arrangement without making it a partisan trophy. What matters now is whether the remaining tanker completes its voyage and whether other cargoes follow the same pattern; the durability of these quiet agreements is the open question.
