The tanker Agioi Fanendes, carrying about 40,000 tonnes of Russian diesel loaded at the Primorsk port, was heading toward the United States without a confirmed buyer. Its Greek operator, Eastmed, said the port of discharge had not been finalized, according to Reuters. Meduza reported that the vessel, described as the last tanker carrying Russian diesel still heading toward the United States under the Trump-Putin deal, turned back about 740 kilometers from New York. Kyiv Post reported that it reversed course roughly 400 nautical miles off New York, and that no Russian diesel cargo has reached the US since Trump struck the deal with Putin on October 9. The Moscow Times and Ukrainska Pravda also reported the shipment. Outlets agree the reversal leaves doubts over Russia's export capacity. The episode has raised questions about whether the diesel arrangement between Washington and Moscow can be delivered in practice.
