Tass reported on September 25 that the Russian government is conditioning the resumption of diesel exports on the complete removal of sanctions. The Kremlin's statement establishes that the current prohibition on shipping diesel fuel to international markets will not be overturned until the restrictive measures against the country are ended.

The export ban currently restricts the flow of one of Russia's primary fuel products to global buyers. The government has not yet provided a specific timeline for when this prohibition might be lifted or detailed which particular sanctions must be addressed first.
