Gasoline prices in the Moscow region have risen sharply, Russian media reports. In one week, the price of AI-95 gasoline in Moscow increased by almost 2 rubles and exceeded 75 rubles per liter, and in the Moscow region the increase was more than 3 rubles. A similar situation exists in the diesel fuel market.
The representatives of the market consider the coordinated attacks of Ukrainian drones on oil refineries as the main reason.
In May, 16 oil refineries were targeted by attacks, including 8 of the 10 largest companies in the sector.
On the night of June 16, drones damaged the Kapotnya production facility of the Moscow oil refinery, which supplies more than half of the plant's total capacity. Two days later, the enterprise was attacked again and stopped working.
