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.
