Russian fuel shortages deepen as refinery repairs and export ban continue
Original: So Russian gas stations are having fuel shortages due to "unscheduled refinery repairs" and there is an export ban in ef
Russian petrol stations are running short of fuel, with officials blaming unscheduled repairs at refineries. An export ban on petrol and diesel has been extended until the end of January as the country tries to stabilise domestic supply. Commenters are pointing to the contradiction between the shortages at home and continued promises of diesel exports abroad, with some calling the export commitments a violation of the spirit of the ban.
Why now: Fuel shortages at Russian stations, refinery disruptions and the extended export ban are colliding with claims that Russia can still supply diesel abroad.
