Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban Amid Ukrainian Refinery Attacks
· World · Bloomberg, Reuters
Russia has prolonged its diesel export ban to safeguard the domestic market after a series of Ukrainian attacks on its refineries. The strikes have reduced refining capacity, prompting Moscow to restrict exports from producers within its borders. The ban is intended to maintain sufficient fuel for domestic use and essential services. It raises uncertainty about global diesel availability and could push prices higher in markets that rely on Russian diesel exports.
