> Three of Russia’s six main diesel-producing refineries halted or sharply reduced operations in September after Ukrainian drone attacks, Reuters reported. The strikes have worsened Russia’s domestic fuel crisis, contributing to export bans, higher prices and sales restrictions. Kirishi shut down fully, while NORSI and Volgograd were operating at roughly a quarter of capacity.
