Russian refineries have raised their crude-processing volumes to highest levels in nine weeks as the nation’s downstream maintenance season is nearing an end.

Russia’s refining facilities processed 5.49 million barrels a day in the week ending June 14, according to a person familiar with the matter. That’s nearly 194,000 barrels a day more than the the week before and the country’s highest processing rate since the second half of April, historical data show.
