As above, euro 5 and 6 engines require low sulphur diesel, or all their low emissions stuff removed, such as DPFs, CATS etc (which then, theoretically make them illegal in their own country).
The modern vehicles you see in these countries don't have the same engines as we in Europe have. If you look in your manual (at least it was in the manual for my Hilux) you will see the spec for engines in Russia, Africa etc is different to Euro spec.
You will get a way with it for a while, but if you persist it will catch up on you. I ran my Hilux in Belarus but only put 2-3 tanks of fuel in.
Thats why I run an old truck for expeditions which, provided you drink enough vodka, you could piss in the fuel tank and it would run!
