Oil refiners in the aggressor country of russia have warned buyers that they may be forced to declare force majeure in the supply of oil from ports on the Baltic Sea. The reason is the consequences of Ukrainian drone strikes in recent days.
It was reported by Reuters with reference to its own sources on Friday, March 27.
On Thursday night, Ukrainian drones again attacked the port of Ust-Luga, one of russia's two largest export ports on the Baltic Sea.
The agency's sources said that oil shipments at the port have been suspended since Wednesday, March 25. One of the interlocutors added that oil exports from Ust-Luga can be resumed no earlier than mid-April.
The second port, Primorsk, was also damaged by Ukrainian drones. Despite the damage, on Thursday, March 26, it partially resumed oil shipments.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, back on March 25, Reuters wrote with reference to its own calculations, that the Ukrainian UAVs' strikes on the ports of Ust-Luga and Primorsk halted 40% of russia's oil export capacity.
And on March 27, russian media reported that the russian government plans to introduce a complete ban on gasoline exports. It will affect all market participants (producers and non-producers) and will last for at least three months.
