Summary
Ukraine has resumed drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, striking the Ryazan refinery and ending a brief ceasefire. The move, which defies reported US pressure, tightens the global diesel market by disrupting nearly 5% of Russia's total refining capacity. This continued campaign against Russian fuel production puts upward pressure on global product prices.
Strategic Implication
Sustained disruption of Russian refined product exports tightens global fuel markets, creating upward price pressure and increasing the call on refined products from GCC NOCs.
