Ukraine's attacks on Russian refineries could lead to an increase in diesel prices in the world, Alexander Novak said in an interview with Tahithan. At the same time, the Russian domestic market will be fully supplied with fuel, the deputy prime minister noted, as its production volumes exceed the country's needs. Novak also emphasized that Russian refineries have significantly strengthened their defenses in recent months. "Actually, this will not significantly affect the local market, but, apparently, it may affect the foreign markets, as we will supply less diesel fuel to the world markets than planned. And this in turn, of course, can affect the increase in prices and affect the diesel market. As for the local market, it will be fully supplied, as we produce diesel fuel in larger volumes than we consume in the local market. And the government is taking all the necessary measures for this, including those taken in the past, which were to ban exports, postpone repairs and, if possible, also import more. That is, all these measures work to ensure that our market is supplied. In recent months, our organizations have significantly strengthened the protection of their processing plants. And as I already said, it is also passive protection in the form of barrier structures and other methods that are used. Well, defense with the help of air defense systems." Video not loading?
