In May, the Russian authorities paid 204.3 billion rubles in compensation to oil refineries under the fuel damper. This is one of the highest figures in recent years.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bloomberg reports<\/a> this, citing data from the Russian Ministry of Finance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Compared to May of last year, the volume of payments has increased almost fivefold. The figure is only slightly inferior to the record set in April, when the Russian government transferred 207.5 billion rubles to the refineries.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The publication notes that the sharp increase in subsidies is due to two factors at once. The first is the rise in oil prices on world markets due to the aggravation of the situation in the Middle East. The second is the problems of the Russian oil refining industry after regular attacks by Ukrainian long-range drones.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Due to rising world prices, the Russian Ministry of Finance is forced to compensate factories for the difference between domestic and export fuel prices. At the same time, some enterprises need additional support after the damage they suffered as a result of the strikes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As Bloomberg notes, the large-scale payments have actually reduced the additional revenues of the Russian budget from the rise in oil prices. The Kremlin is forced to direct a significant part of the funds to support the oil refining industry instead of replenishing the state treasury.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that in Russia, the Syzran Oil Refinery in the Samara Region temporarily stopped operating<\/a> after an attack by Ukrainian drones.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, on the night of Wednesday, May 20, drones attacked the city of Nevinnomyssk in the Stavropol Territory of Russia.<\/a> The strike likely hit the Nevinnomyssk Azot chemical plant, after which a fire broke out in the industrial zone.<\/p>\n
