Russia's Fuel Crisis Eases as Refineries Restart Amid Ongoing Tensions
Russia's fuel crisis is showing signs of easing as several refineries have resumed operations, according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. The crisis, exacerbated by Ukraine's drone attacks on Russian refineries, had led to gasoline and diesel shortages. The situation remains tense in some regions, particularly Siberia, but the government is managing fuel supply issues at a federal level. The crisis was further intensified by Russia's ban on diesel exports to protect domestic supply, impacting the global diesel market.
