Russia is considering extending its diesel export ban as Ukraine intensifies attacks on the nation's fuel infrastructure. The government may prolong current restrictions for producers until October 1, according to a person with knowledge of the matter who requested anonymity as discussions remain private. Ukraine has launched unprecedented attacks on Russian refineries in recent months, disrupting diesel production and exports.

The potential extension would mark another escalation in the energy-related aspects of the ongoing conflict between the two nations. Russia's diesel exports have been a significant source of revenue for foreign markets prior to these restrictions being implemented.
