Russia Plans to Ban Diesel Exports for Resellers Until Year-End

Russia’s government plans to ban diesel exports for some companies until the end of the year amid Ukrainian drone strikes on nation’s refineries.

The restrictions will affect resellers only — companies that buy diesel inside Russia and then ship it abroad, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said Thursday, according to local media reports. The government will also extend its gasoline-export ban for both producers and resellers of the fuel until the end of the year, he said.
