Russia Weighs Diesel Export Ban as Ukraine Strikes Hit Refineries and Iran War Strains Supplies
3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 23
Summary
Russia is considering halting diesel exports to prevent domestic shortages after Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian refineries.
Those strikes have raised the risk that refinery disruptions could tighten fuel availability at home, prompting Moscow to weigh curbs on outbound shipments.
Any export ban would add pressure to global diesel markets already strained by supply disruptions linked to the Iran war.
The prospect of Russian restrictions broadens the energy-market fallout from the refinery attacks beyond domestic fuel security to international supply balances.
