Against the background of sanctions against Russia and Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries in the United States, fuel prices began to rise. This is reported by the American agency Bloomberg.
Thus, the cost of diesel increased by 3%, gasoline remains at the level of the beginning of the year, despite the drop in world oil prices by about 20%. This is "unlikely to please the US administration, which considers affordable energy a vital" part of its economic program.
The agency notes that the price increase is associated with a drop in processing volumes:
"The incessant attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure, interruptions in the operation of key plants in Asia and Africa, as well as the constant closure of plants in Europe and the United States have led to millions of barrels of diesel and gasoline disappearing from the world market."
Additional pressure is exerted by sanctions against Lukoil and Rosneft, as well as the EU ban on the import of petroleum products, which will come into force in January 2026.
