Putin restricts data on oil refineries and energy exports
Original: Ukraine War, Day 1,678: Putin Restricts Access to Data on Oil Refineries and Energy Exports
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered restrictions on public access to data about oil refineries and energy exports, as reported in coverage of the 1,678th day of the Ukraine war. The move limits visibility of statistics on Russia's oil infrastructure and export volumes. It comes amid ongoing attacks on Russian refining facilities and scrutiny of Moscow's energy revenues funding the war.
Why now: It suggests Russia is trying to conceal damage to its oil refining capacity and energy revenue amid Ukraine's strikes on energy infrastructure.
