## Key points

- Ukraine has renewed attacks on Russian refineries.
- At least six Russian diesel cargoes signalled transatlantic voyages.
- The first observed US-bound shipment may not be unloaded.

## Summary

Ukraine has resumed attacks on Russian oil refineries, adding pressure to domestic fuel supplies as Moscow tries to restart diesel exports under an October deal with US President Donald Trump. The renewed strikes matter because earlier attacks had taken processing capacity offline and contributed to shortages, prompting Russia to restrict fuel exports.

The Ryazan refinery may have been hit in a drone strike this week, following an attack on the Yaroslavl plant on Monday; confirmation of the Ryazan strike was still pending. Shipping data showed at least six Russian diesel cargoes signalling transatlantic voyages, while two appeared to have changed course. No Russian diesel shipment had reached the US since the deal, and the first observed US-bound cargo was expected in New York that weekend, though its discharge was uncertain amid regulatory and sanctions concerns.
