#Putin on the proposal to halt strikes on oil refineries: Or they tell us: "Let them stop striking your refineries, and you stop striking their ships. Let them export civilian cargoes—agricultural produce." But what about our other civilian cargoes? Things like oil and petroleum products. So, they stop the strikes, and we end up with a surplus of diesel—the kind that is in such high demand in, say, the United States. We would have more of it. We have enough diesel as it is.
