Russia Weighs Diesel Export Curbs After Refinery Drone Hits

Russia is weighing restrictions on diesel exports as a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil refineries forced the government to pay close attention to fuel supplies and prices at home.

The potential measure would mainly target so-called resellers, companies that buy diesel inside Russia and then ship it abroad, people familiar with the government’s deliberations said, asking not to be identified because the matter isn’t public. That is different from Russian media reports suggesting a blanket halt on all diesel exports, including shipments by the country’s big refiners.
