MOSCOW, OCTOBER 18 /SRNA – RIA Novosti/ - Russian diesel fuel will reach the US within 15 to 20 days of the signing of a contract, and other countries sooner, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said.

"Negotiations on commercial terms are currently underway, essentially to conclude contracts. As soon as they are signed, the fuel will reach the markets within 15 to 20 days, meaning the US market.
