A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian energy infrastructure hit a record high in May, causing Russian crude processing to fall to a 16-year low. In response, Russia banned jet fuel exports until November to prevent domestic fuel shortages during peak summer demand. The ban has limited international impact since Russia is not a major jet fuel exporter, but it marks the Kremlin's latest effort to protect local supplies amid ongoing attacks.
