The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia announced that after a pause in the Ukrainian drone attacks on the country’s energy facilities, these drones attacked three refineries and a Russian petrochemical complex on Friday.
According to IRNA’s TASS news agency, Alexander Novak told reporters on Friday: “In general, the Russian air defense has countered these drone attacks, but one of these refineries was slightly damaged.”
The Deputy Prime Minister of Russia also stated: The Russian government is preparing a directive to extend the ban on diesel exports until the end of January 2027 (11 February 1405), with the exception of supply to world markets.
Previously, the Russian government had extended the temporary ban on the export of diesel, marine fuel, and gas oil by producers until the end of this month (tomorrow, Saturday, November 9), and with the issuance of a new decree, this ban will be extended until the end of January.
At the same time, Novak said that the supply of diesel to world markets will continue within the framework of the agreement between Moscow and Washington.
He reminded: Russia has already sent three oil tankers carrying Russian diesel to the United States, and the fourth oil tanker will leave soon.
According to this agreement and the issuance of a license by the Russian government, the companies of this country can export 500,000 tons of diesel as part of the agreement to supply this fuel to America and the world market.
Stating that the volume of Russia’s diesel supply to America in October will be 510,000 tons, he said: It is possible that next month, the volume of this fuel export from Russia will increase to 2.15 million tons, and the continuation of this process depends on the situation.
Tass state news agency, referring to the Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy facilities, wrote: US President Donald Trump previously said that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is not looking for a peaceful solution to the conflict.
Trump emphasized that the attacks of the Ukrainian side on the refineries of the Russian Federation have a negative impact on the whole world.
Trump had a telephone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin on October 17, 1405. In this phone call, Moscow confirmed its readiness to supply oil and oil products to the American and global markets.
It was previously announced that Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russia last night led to the suspension of all Moscow airports and some areas of the country, restrictions that were lifted before noon this Friday.
