Pakistan, July 9 -- Russia has banned oil and diesel exports after Ukrainian strikes disrupted energy infrastructure and triggered domestic fuel shortages. The move aims to stabilize local fuel supplies as the war continues to affect Russia's energy sector. Consumers, businesses, and global energy markets could face renewed uncertainty following the decision.
