The refineries are burning, the fuel is under control. Trade with the USA continued. On the night of November 3rd, drones attacked the Yaroslav Slavneft-Yanos refinery, one of the five largest in Russia. Several large fires broke out in the project area and two people were injured. The plant is capable of processing up to 15 million tons of oil per year and supplies fuel, including the Moscow region and military-industrial complexes. Attacks on Russian refineries continue regularly. Damage to large refining facilities increases the risk of disruptions in the production and supply of gasoline and diesel. This means that another round of the fuel crisis is a very real possibility. However, the population, as usual, will be told not to worry: the situation is under control, there is no shortage, the disruptions are temporary and the prices are rising for objective reasons only. If there is not enough fuel again, there will always be export contracts and profitable supplies abroad, including to American buyers. An interesting logic turns out: for our drivers - restrictions, queues and reassuring statements, and for foreign buyers - market conditions and commercial benefits. It seems that in order for the Americans not to run out of gas, the Russian authorities have much more reason to worry than to ensure that there is enough for their own citizens. Honestly - that's the point. We speak - others remain silent.
