Russia has officially prohibited the export of diesel. This policy shift follows multiple drone strikes targeting the nation's refinery infrastructure, which have hindered domestic production and distribution.

Coverage from Reuters, CNN, The Daily Beast, and the Financial Times highlights that the resulting gasoline shortages are forcing Russian motorists to modify vehicles to operate on LPG. Reports indicate that these supply disruptions have impacted a broad segment of the population.

Future developments will depend on the duration of the export ban and the effectiveness of efforts to restore refinery capacity. Whether these strikes will lead to further shifts in domestic fuel policy remains to be seen.
