Read moreRussian President Vladimir Putin's Special Envoy on Foreign Investment and Economic Cooperation and Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) CEO, Kirill Dmitriev (pictured), denied on Thursday recent reports about two tankers carrying Russian diesel toward the United States supposedly changing their course.
"Fake. Tankers destined for the US continue on course," Dmitriev insisted on X, where he also posted a report from the Financial Times (FT). "Why so much fake news from the @FT?" The Russian diplomat wondered further.
