Russia bans diesel exports to ensure domestic supply after targeted Ukrainian drone strikes
The move will divert more fuel to Russian drivers as Ukrainian strikes cut refinery output and push diesel prices higher worldwide.
- Today, Russia implemented a ban on diesel exports lasting until July 31, aiming to stabilize the domestic fuel market following systematic Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries.
- Intensifying Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure have squeezed diesel and gasoline supplies, forcing drivers in many regions to face hours-long lines at filling stations.
- Seaborne diesel and gasoil exports plunged 39% last month to around 1.8 million metric tons, while Benchmark European diesel margins rose to a record $60.17 per barrel.
- Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated the ban aims to increase domestic supplies, adding that Russia will begin importing fuel in July as the situation remains complex.
- Turkey and Brazil absorbed at least half of available cargoes last month, while Morocco, Egypt, and Senegal also emerged as major importers of Russian diesel before the restrictions.
