Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russia’s oil refineries could reduce Russia’s diesel fuel exports

Ukraine’s attacks on Russia’s oil refineries with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) could affect the volume of diesel fuel exports Moscow has planned. Exports are expected to be slightly lower than the initial target.

Postxronika.az reports, citing TASS, that this was said by Alexander Novak, the deputy prime minister of Russia, in an interview with journalists.

Novak noted that these attacks also have a negative impact on the global energy market. According to him, Russia plans to export 510,000 tonnes of diesel fuel in October and 2.15 million tonnes in November.

During a phone call on October 9, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump also discussed the issue of oil product supplies.
