俄罗斯副总理亚历山大·诺瓦克周三表示，俄罗斯和美国正在最终敲定柴油供应合同，首艘油轮计划周四启程前往美国。
Russia and the US are finalizing contracts for diesel fuel supplies, with the first tanker scheduled to depart for the US on Thursday, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Wednesday.
诺瓦克在圣彼得堡举行的俄中政府间会议期间接受记者采访时说，该油轮将运载4万吨俄罗斯柴油。
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a Russia-China intergovernmental meeting in St. Petersburg, Novak said the tanker would carry 40,000 tons of Russian diesel.
“首艘油轮计划明天，即10月22日，离开港口前往美国，”他说。
"The first tanker is scheduled to leave the port tomorrow, Oct. 22, for the United States," he said.
诺瓦克表示，后续还会有更多运输，并补充说，俄罗斯将在其可用供应能力范围内满足美国需求。他补充说，合同正处于最终阶段。
Further shipments will follow, Novak said, adding that Russia would meet US demand within its available supply capacity. He added that the contracts were in the final stages ofg.
他说，随着炼油厂产能允许，俄罗斯正在逐步恢复柴油出口，预计向其他国家的运输将在年底前增加。
Russia is gradually restoring diesel exports as refinery capacity allows, with shipments to other countries expected to increase toward the end of the year, he said.
“我们目前并未将出口恢复到全量，而是在炼油厂的能力范围内运营，”他说。
"We are not restoring exports to their full volume at present, but are operating within the capabilities of our refineries," he said.
诺瓦克表示，俄罗斯有望在年底前恢复柴油出口全量，使其他国家能够恢复接收之前的供应量。
Novak said Russia could restore its full diesel export volumes by the end of the year, allowing other countries to resume receiving their previous supply volumes.
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京和美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在10月9日的电话通话中讨论了石油产品供应问题。普京表示，莫斯科准备向美国和全球市场供应石油和石油产品。
Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump discussed petroleum product supplies during an Oct. 9 telephone conversation. Putin said Moscow was ready to supply oil and petroleum products to the US and global markets.
诺瓦克此前表示，俄罗斯提前于原计划解除柴油出口限制，10月可供应30万吨，11月可供应50万吨，12月可供应100万吨，长期来看每月可能增至300万吨。
Novak previously said Russia was lifting diesel export restrictions earlier than planned and could supply 300,000 tons in October, 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons in December, potentially rising to 3 million tons per month over the longer term.
天然气管道进展 转向连接俄罗斯和德国的北溪天然气管道，诺瓦克表示，通过该系统唯一完好的管道，输送可迅速恢复，而三条受损管道若需求能证明成本合理，也可以进行修复。
Gas pipeline developments Turning to the Nord Stream gas pipelines linking Russia and Germany, Novak said deliveries could resume quickly through the system's sole intact pipeline, while the three damaged lines could be repaired if demand justified the cost.
“四条管道中有一条在运行。如果欧洲消费者或欧洲国家和政客想要接收供应，天然气可以通过这条管线输送，”他说。他说，恢复供应主要取决于欧洲国家，特别是德国。
"One of the four strings is operational. If European consumers or European countries and politicians want to receive supplies, gas can be delivered through this line," he said. He said any resumption of supplies depended primarily on European countries, particularly Germany.
2022年9月26日，“北溪”四条管道中的三条在水下爆炸中受损，导致大量甲烷泄漏。
Three of Nord Stream's four pipelines were damaged in underwater explosions on Sept. 26, 2022, causing major methane leaks.
丹麦和瑞典认定这些爆炸是蓄意破坏行为，但于2024年2月结案，未查明责任人。
Denmark and Sweden concluded that the explosions were acts of sabotage but closed their investigations in February 2024 without identifying those responsible.
诺瓦克还表示，俄罗斯和中国可能在年底前就拟建的“贝加尔力量”天然气管道（此前称为“西伯利亚力量2号”）达成商业协议。
Novak also said Russia and China could reach a commercial agreement by year-end on the proposed Power of Baikal gas pipeline, previously known as Power of Siberia 2.
“我们正在等待双方公司进行商业谈判。我们希望它们能在年底前达成相关协议，”他说。
"We are waiting for our companies to conduct commercial negotiations. We hope they will reach the relevant agreements by the end of the year," he said.
他解释说，该项目更名是为了将其与现有的“西伯利亚力量”管道区分开来，并反映其计划沿贝加尔湖南岸铺设的路线。
He explained that the project was renamed to distinguish it from the existing Power of Siberia pipeline and reflect its planned route along the southern shore of Lake Baikal.
