[Russia Poised to Extend Diesel Export Ban Amid Continued Attacks on Refineries] According to sources, Russia is poised to extend its ban on most diesel exports beyond the end of September due to ongoing attacks on Russian refineries. The sources indicated that there is a consensus to extend the ban. One source stated that extending the restrictions for another month, or even longer, is under consideration. Russia imposed the ban in July after a series of Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, causing the country's oil processing volumes to plummet to multi-year lows. The export restrictions were initially expected to last only a few weeks, but as the attacks continued, the ban was first extended to the end of August, and then to the end of September.
