Russia has imposed a ban on kerosene exports until November 30, a move aimed at stabilizing its domestic fuel market. The government announced the decision, citing the need to ensure stability within the country's fuel supply, as reported by the Interfax news agency.

This measure comes as Ukraine continues its drone attacks on Russian oil refineries and other energy infrastructure, impacting production. While the ban specifically targets kerosene, Russia has already implemented restrictions on gasoline exports. Discussions are reportedly ongoing regarding potential measures for diesel fuel.

Russian kerosene exports are predominantly conducted via rail, with Central Asian nations such as Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan being key recipients. The production of diesel fuel in Russia has seen a decline, falling by approximately 10% in May, following a similar 10% drop in April, largely attributed to the disruptions caused by Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries.
