Ukraine’s strikes on Russian refineries spark fuel shortages, export bans, and price hikes

"Over the past week, Ukraine's Armed Forces carried out new strikes on Russian oil refineries, forcing Russian authorities to extend a ban on gasoline exports and announce the introduction

of a partial ban on diesel exports.
Ukraine's sustained campaign of strikes on refineries is now causing mild havoc at gas stations in Russia and occupied Crimea, with prices skyrocketing and short-term shortages widely reported.
While, for now, these strikes are unlikely to cause massive disruptions to global supply chains, market experts who spoke to the Kyiv Independent say Russia's highly profitable diesel and gasoline exports are still taking an unprecedented hit.
A domestic energy crisis is also at play." KI
