Russia turns to imported Jet A-1 as refinery disruptions hit fuel supply

Russia is currently relying heavily on imports of Jet A-1 aviation fuel due to significant disruptions impacting its domestic refineries. Approximately seventy thousand tons of the fuel have been sourced from South Korea and Egypt, representing a critical measure to address the shortfall. Ukraine was previously involved in supplying this fuel but details regarding their current role are not specified. The reliance on international shipments highlights the severity of the challenges facing Russia’s ability to meet its own aviation fuel demands. This situation underscores vulnerabilities within the Russian aerospace industry's supply chain.
