Russia bans fuel exports as supply disrupted by Ukrainian drones
MOSCOW – Russia is banning exports of fuel until the end of the year as gas pumps across the country and in the areas under its occupation are increasingly running dry because of Ukrainian drone attacks.Kyiv first stepped up drone attacks on Russian refineries, pumping stations and fuel trains in an attempt to disrupt fuel supply chains over the summer when demand is traditionally high as people drive more during vacation time.While Russian officials initially blamed the shortages on “logistical reasons” and promised gasoline and diesel would begin flowing again, the shortages have only worsened in recent weeks.The Ukrainian Air Force said it struck multiple Russian fuel production sites and pumping stations this week, including a major oil refinery in Bashkortostan in southern...
