Under an agreement between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, Russia has dispatched 3 diesel tankers toward the U.S. East Coast, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. Most of the additional supply is expected to come from Rosneft, after Russia eased diesel export curbs to allow up to 500,000 tonnes to be shipped abroad in October. One tanker, the Malta-flagged Agioi Fanendes carrying about 40,000 tonnes, left Primorsk and is expected in New York on 7 November, though the vessels’ identities and final discharge ports have not been disclosed. The deal calls for Russia to supply more than 300,000 tonnes immediately, 500,000 tonnes in November and another 1 million tonnes after that, and the U.S. has issued a temporary sanctions waiver allowing Russian diesel imports.

- Germany - Russia trade plummets in nearly 5 years of Ukraine war
Economic ties between Germany and Russia have weakened sharply since the war in Ukraine began, according to new German government data. German imports from Russia fell 96.4% in the first half of 2026 compared with the same period in 2021, to 500 million euros from 15 billion euros, largely due to lost oil and gas supplies. German exports to Russia dropped to 3.4 billion euros in the first six months of 2026, around a quarter of the 2021 level. Russian-controlled companies in Germany fell from 229 in 2021 to 76 in 2024, while German firms active in Russia dropped from 481 to 290 by 2024. Direct flights were suspended under EU sanctions, leaving about 39,900 passengers travelling to Russia in the first half of 2026, versus about 1 million in the first half of 2019.
- Russian Deputy PM: First three oil tankers heading to US East Coast
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said the first three diesel tankers have set off for the Atlantic East Coast of the US, with substantial support from the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), as Moscow and Washington finalize diesel supply contracts. Russia decided to lift its diesel export ban earlier than planned and is ready to supply 300,000 tonnes in October, 500,000 tonnes in November and 1 million tonnes in December. After that, monthly diesel exports could reach 3 million tonnes, 10 times the October level. The first Russian tanker, carrying 40,000 tonnes, left for the US on 22/10.
- Russian Oil Exports by Arctic Route Jump Amid World Freight Crisis
Russia's oil exports via the Northern Sea Route (NSR) in 2026 have already surpassed last year's total by nearly 50%, with around 20 million barrels shipped to Asia from the start of navigation in July to mid-October, according to traders and data. The Arctic route, long seen as riskier and costlier, has become more attractive as disruptions on routes through the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz and the Black Sea area have pushed tanker freight rates to record highs. Volumes are expected to rise by another 5-10 million barrels by the end of the navigation season, compared with 13 million barrels in the last season. Gazprom Neft plans to increase its NSR shipments by about 35% from 2025, and the newly opened Vostok Oil project is also adding to volumes. LNG supply via the route is also expected to rise after Arctic LNG shipments began.

- Tanker carrying 43,000 tonnes of Russian oil sends very good news to US
A tanker carrying nearly 43,000 tonnes of ultra-low sulphur diesel left Russia's Primorsk port on October 22 and has repeatedly signalled New York as its destination, with arrival expected on November 7. If completed, it would be the first Russian refined fuel cargo to reach the US since imports nearly stopped after the Ukraine conflict began in 2022, though the signalled destination could change. The shipment comes about two weeks after Trump and Putin agreed to return Russian diesel to international markets, as Washington seeks more supply before the November 3 midterm elections amid rising fuel prices. The US Treasury granted a special licence allowing Russian diesel into the country until April next year, and Trump said Russia would release over 300,000 tonnes immediately, about 500,000 tonnes in November and 2 million tonnes later. Critics, including some lawmakers, argue the deal could give Moscow extra revenue during the Ukraine war and question whether the released volumes are large enough to significantly lower fuel prices.
- Russia and the US announce good news for the whole world
The Kremlin said Russia's diesel supply deal for international markets serves the interests of both Moscow and Washington and helps stabilize global fuel supply and demand. According to Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov, Vladimir Putin and US special envoy Steve Witkoff discussed implementing the deal on October 21 during a meeting in St. Petersburg. Implementation began after the US lifted some sanctions on Russian diesel, and the talks followed terms agreed by Putin and Donald Trump in an October 9 phone call. The White House has exempted Russian diesel supply to international markets from sanctions until April 7, 2027.

- Three major powers set to hold summit as Ukraine fears its fate will be decided behind its back
Ukrainian President Zelensky said Beijing has influence over Moscow and should use it to end the war, and that a planned meeting of the US, Chinese and Russian leaders must not lead to the partition of Ukraine. A trilateral summit has been proposed on the sidelines of APEC in Shenzhen on 18-19 November, though no details have been announced. Zelensky said US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner agreed to hold trilateral expert-level talks among Kyiv, Washington and Moscow in the first half of November, possibly in Abu Dhabi. Moscow said in principle it agreed to resume talks after 10 November, while Kyiv refuses to cede any territory it controls and Moscow demands that Ukraine withdraw from Donbas. Zelensky said he is ready to accept freezing the front lines, provided there are security guarantees from Washington and Europe.
- France Deploys 70,000 Police Amid Fears of Widespread Riots
The French government is deploying about 70,000 police nationwide on Oct. 24, roughly 10,000 more than last weekend, ahead of expected protests in major cities.

- Us Consumer Sentiment : From fuel price hikes to cost - of - living concerns , US consumer sentiment nears record low
US consumer sentiment edged down to 48.0 in October, near a record low, as price increases linked to the Middle East conflict weighed on households, according to a University of Michigan survey. Sentiment among independents fell sharply to 42.4 from 47.7 in September, just above May's record low of 40.6, while scores among Democrats and Republicans improved. Expectations for inflation over the next 12 months rose to 4.7%, and expectations for the next five years increased to 3.5%. Survey director Joanne Hsu warned that persistently elevated inflation expectations could complicate the Federal Reserve's efforts to bring inflation to its 2% target, and the Fed is due to meet next week with the policy rate widely expected to stay at 3.75%-4.00%.
- Something in Tehran Resembles What Once Unfolded in Moscow
The author compares the Soviet Union with Iran after reading On the Edge of Empire: From Brezhnev to Putin by journalist Salam Musafir. He argues the two authoritarian systems, one secular and one religious, share weaknesses: a gap between official rhetoric and everyday life, economic stagnation, and costs from foreign ambitions. He says Iranians, especially younger generations, are demanding fair incomes, jobs and personal freedoms, and that grievances such as those illustrated by the 2022 case of Mahsa Amini cannot all be dismissed as the work of foreign agents. While he does not treat every opposition claim as unquestionable, he says their recurring economic complaints deserve examination. He notes that history does not simply repeat itself, but political systems can differ in ideology while sharing the same sources of weakness.
