After the strikes on the refineries, Russia could consume about 14% of its oil refining industry. This significantly reduced its ability to supply diesel fuel and gasoline to its army. It is no coincidence that last year it bought fuel from Belarus, and this year it ordered 100,000 tons from Kazakhstan.
Today, Russia sells 3.6 to 3.8 million barrels of crude oil, when recently it was selling 3.4. The point is that the world market has received significantly more oil from Russia than before. Thus, the US fears that it might face a crisis in the fuel market are unfounded.
