Ukraine said its campaign against Russia’s oil-refining sector is continuing, while Russia also struck Ukrainian energy infrastructure. A reported drone attack may have caused a fire at Rosneft’s Saratov refinery, though production losses were unconfirmed; severely damaged refinery units can take six to eight months to repair.
U.S.-brokered Russia-Ukraine talks were scheduled for November 10–11, and South Africa’s temporary fuel-levy relief is set to shrink in December.
Damage to Russian refining capacity can keep diesel and fuel supplies tight even if attacks pause, sustaining upward price pressure. South African levy relief is also due to diminish, limiting the chance that a truce quickly lowers local diesel prices.
