Russia Bans Diesel Exports Amid Heavy Ukraine Attacks On Refineries

Russia has halted all diesel exports to bolster its domestic fuel supply after Ukrainian drone attacks severely damaged its energy infrastructure, including a major oil refinery. This move aims to close loopholes that let self-producing oil firms sell fuel abroad, ensuring more diesel stays within the country. The embargo will last through the end of July, highlighting the impact of ongoing military actions on global energy markets and potentially causing fuel shortages worldwide. This decision underscores the broader geopolitical tensions and their economic repercussions.
