Ukraine’s sustained strikes on Russia’s oil and gas infrastructure have forced Moscow to impose fuel rationing nationwide, escalating disruptions in domestic energy markets. The Kremlin’s July ban on diesel exports further tightens global supply chains, raising concerns over fuel shortages and price volatility. Analysts warn the move could deepen energy market instability, particularly in regions already grappling with refining capacity constraints. The conflict’s ripple effects extend beyond borders, testing the resilience of international energy trade networks.
Ukraine has for months been targeting Russia's oil and gas industry with long-range strikes, prompting fuel rationing across the country and causing Moscow to ban diesel exports in July, one factor disrupting the global supply of diesel.
