Russia announced a ban on aviation fuel exports effective until November 30, as the country grapples with intensifying attacks on its energy infrastructure. The export restriction comes amid what sources describe as a record month of Ukrainian strikes targeting Russian refineries.

The ban represents Russia's latest effort to manage domestic fuel supplies as military operations continue in Ukraine. Aviation fuel shortages could impact both civilian air travel and military operations, though Russian officials have not disclosed specific supply data or production figures.

Ukrainian forces have increasingly targeted Russian energy infrastructure in recent months, focusing attacks on refineries and fuel production facilities. These strikes have raised concerns about Russia's ability to maintain adequate fuel supplies for both domestic consumption and export commitments.

The export ban affects international aviation fuel markets, though the full impact remains unclear. Russia has historically been a significant supplier of petroleum products to global markets, and the restriction could contribute to supply chain pressures in the aviation sector.

Russian President Vladimir Putin recently hosted the country's annual economic forum, described as a wartime version of the World Economic Forum, as the government seeks to address economic challenges during the ongoing conflict. The fuel export ban adds to a series of economic measures Russia has implemented since the start of military operations in Ukraine.
