Russia is considering a multi-month diesel export ban on fuel producers, TASS quoted Deputy Prime Minister Novak as saying on Friday. Ukraine says its long-range drone strikes on Russian energy facilities aim to weaken a key military funding source and push the conflict onto Russian territory; President Putin said attacks on civilian infrastructure are intended to foment internal discord.

Turkey and Brazil led May purchases, taking most available spot cargoes.
