00:06to the global market under an agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to
00:11CNBC. Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons, followed by 500,000 tons in November
00:17with additional deliveries planned. The Treasury Department temporarily waived sanctions on
00:22Russian diesel through April 2027. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the
