Damage to oil‑processing facilities has reduced fuel availability across Russia, raising costs for freight companies and prompting carriers to reject unprofitable orders, energy analyst Sergey Vakulenko said. Moscow has responded by restricting gasoline exports and banning diesel exports until July 31 to protect domestic supplies. The government is also prioritizing fuel deliveries to vehicles serving major grocery chains, an indication that officials are trying to prevent shortages, spoilage and further price increases. Reuters reported that refinery output had fallen to about 65% of its seasonal average. Ukraine has intensified its campaign against Russia’s energy and logistics network. Kyiv says the strikes are intended to weaken Moscow’s ability to finance and sustain its war.
