RUSSIA EXTENDS GASOLINE & DIESEL EXPORT BAN
The Russian government has extended the ban on petroleum and diesel exports, along with aviation fuel.
The later is said to be in chronically short supply. The effect of the shortage is said to be causing shortages at air bases and has curtailed Russian air operations.
With harvest time due, diesel is in very high demand and imports are now essential to maintain supply.
It’s ridiculous that Russia has 44 massive refineries and a shortage of basic fuels. Clearly the Ukrainian drone strikes have had a career impact than anyone in Russia wants to admit. The general public are kept in the dark about the state of refineries - all they see is rising prices and a desperate effort to hide the realities.
