MOSCOW, October 30. /TASS/. Russia's planned diesel fuel export volumes could be reduced due to Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters.

"As for diesel, [Ukrainian drone] attacks could certainly lead to a decrease in export volumes. The reduction may be minor, but it is still less than what was originally planned," Novak said.

He emphasized that these attacks harm the global energy market. "In other words, what the Ukrainian drones are doing to our refineries is unequivocally detrimental to global markets," the Deputy Prime Minister concluded.

Earlier, Novak stated that Russia planned to export 510,000 tons of diesel fuel in October, with export volumes potentially reaching 2.15 million tons in November.

On October 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump held a telephone conversation, discussing, among other topics, the supply of petroleum products. According to Putin, Moscow reaffirmed its readiness to supply oil and petroleum products to both the US and global markets. Trump, for his part, praised the agreement with Russia regarding diesel fuel supplies.
