Russia plans to ban diesel exports.

The Russian government is planning ban diesel exports for several months, the state news agency TASS reported on Friday (26), citing Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

In May, diesel production in Russia fell by about 10%, although exports saw little change, with traders seeking to take advantage of high fuel prices, driven by tensions surrounding the War in the Middle East. 

Turkey and Brazil were the main buyers of Russian diesel in May.
