Russia considers partial lifting of diesel export ban
Russia is considering a partial lifting of its diesel export ban if domestic production exceeds local demand. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak stated that the domestic fuel market is currently balanced and supply is sufficient. While the government recently extended the export ban through the end of October to prioritize domestic needs, officials are monitoring the situation closely.
However, President Vladimir Putin has maintained a stricter stance, declaring that Russia will not return diesel to the global market until international sanctions against the country are lifted. Putin noted that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries have caused significant economic damage, estimated at approximately 1% of the nation's GDP.
The uncertainty regarding Russian fuel supplies has contributed to global market volatility, with diesel prices in the United States reaching record highs of over 6.50 USD per gallon.
