In an effort to partially alleviate the fuel squeeze in Russia caused by Ukrainian strikes on oil and gas infrastructure, Russian authorities have allowed some of the country’s fuel refineries to produce fuel with significantly higher levels of sulfur and other pollutants for the domestic market, Reuters reported. As a part of the relaxed production standard, gasoline and diesel refined for use in Russia can now contain up to 150 parts per million of sulfur, which is about 15 times the legal limit permitted in India, China, and Europe.

It was a singular, surprising admission from Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yes, Russia is experiencing fuel shortages — and he knows it.

“As for the attacks on critical infrastructure in general, and energy infrastructure in particular, they are, of course, creating problems,” the Russian president said during an interview with a local journalist. “That is obvious,” he added. But, Putin admitted, although “we are currently seeing certain shortages… they are not critical.

With the war in Iran ramping up once again, the prospects of traffic through the Strait of Hormuz returning to pre-war levels by the end of the year have been all but dashed.

After Iran targeted several civilian tankers, however, the situation is once again tense; traffic through the Strait has slowed to a crawl.
