MoscowAlexander Novak says Russian diesel reaches Europe rebranded, Russian state news agency TASS reported.
Europe banned purchases of Russian oil and petrochemicals, the deputy prime minister said.
Asked whether Europeans can buy Russian gas via a third country, he cited diesel as an example.
He named no buyers, volumes or brands, and TASS’s report cites no evidence.
Novak said Europe’s underground gas storage is historically at its lowest, with winter ahead.
