The information comes from Russian state-run news agencies, which quote Russian special envoy for economic cooperation Kirill Dmitriev.
"It will happen in the next few days," he says of the widely publicized and criticized reports that Russia will be allowed to sell diesel.
Diesel prices have risen sharply because of the war in Iran.
US President Donald Trump’s announcement last week that Russia would be allowed to supply diesel to the global market has drawn sharp criticism from several quarters, including from within his own party.
"We are very close, we are in contact with the American side every hour. Everything is moving very quickly," Dmitriev said, according to Russian media.
