## Resource

A sharp reduction in Russian diesel exports is creating a new strain on an already fragile global market. In this episode of Driving Discussions, Benedict George (Editor, Argus European Products) and Josh Michalowski (Diesel Market Reporter) discuss how the loss of Russian supply is reshaping trade flows and intensifying pressure across European and international diesel markets. They examine how supply disruption spreads between regions, why Europe remains exposed even without importing Russian diesel directly, and whether refiners and consumers can absorb another period of market tightness. Growing pressures in global diesel supply chains and their wider market impact How shifting trade flows are reshaping diesel markets around the world The factors driving unprecedented volatility in diesel pricing Why global energy markets are becoming increasingly interconnected The challenges facing refiners, traders and fuel consumers in today's market
