Russia has banned aviation-fuel exports through the end of November to prevent domestic shortages after Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian refineries. The move should have limited impact on global fuel markets: Vortexa shows Russian jet-fuel exports averaged about 30,000 bpd last year (under 2% of global supply) and roughly 28,000 bpd on average in Jan–Apr 2026, with Turkey the main buyer. Drone strikes have cut Russian crude-processing rates to their lowest level in more than 16 years. Ukrai

Russia has banned aviation-fuel exports through the end of November to prevent domestic shortages after Ukraine stepped up attacks on Russian refineries. The move should have limited impact on global fuel markets: Vortexa shows Russian jet-fuel exports averaged about 30,000 bpd last year (under 2% of global supply) and roughly 28,000 bpd on average in Jan–Apr 2026, with Turkey the main buyer. Drone strikes have cut Russian crude-processing rates to their lowest level in more than 16 years. Ukraine has expanded strikes to energy infrastructure, including ports and pipelines, aiming to curb petrodollar inflows to the Kremlin.
