Russia Bans Fuel Exports in a Fuel Crisis Showdown

In a surprising twist, Russia has decided to ban all petroleum and aviation fuel exports to tackle a domestic fuel crisis. Deputy PM Alexander Novak announced this bold move, which comes after pesky Ukrainian drones caused chaos. To keep the fuel flowing, refineries are being pushed to the max, while maintenance plans are getting squished. Russia is focusing on its own fuel needs, leaving international trade feeling a bit lonely.
