Did Russia Decide To Frame Lukashenko?

AFU drones may appear over Belarusian oil refineries.

As one of the measures to eliminate the fuel shortage in Russia, it is proposed to increase the processing of Russian oil at refineries in Belarus. How will Kiev, which has already knocked out 20% of refining capacity in Russia itself, react to this?

In Russia, the AFU's defeat of oil refining infrastructure is neatly called "unscheduled repairs at primary oil refineries," writes "Belarusians and the market".

The resulting shortage of gasoline is estimated by experts of "Kommersant" at 20%. In a number of regions - occupied Crimea and the Far East - it has begun to become critical. In the occupied Crimea and Sevastopol, restrictions have been imposed since September 29 on the sale of no more than 30 liters of gasoline per person. The Crimean authorities have agreed with oil traders to fix the cost of fuel for 30 days. In the Far East, difficulties with gasoline availability are being addressed through an export ban and other measures.

Last week, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said that the government will not only extend the embargo on gasoline exports until the end of 2025, but will also impose restrictions on diesel exports. The latter will not apply to refineries.

To solve the shortage problem, Kommersant's sources said, additional measures may be taken to encourage imports and increase refining of Russian oil in Belarus - in Mozyr and Novopolotsk. It is also proposed to temporarily relax environmental standards so that refineries can produce more gasoline.
