If Ukraine focuses on larger Russian oil infrastructure, it could lead to further price increases, market analysts predict.

Global oil prices rose on Monday following tensions between Ukraine and Russia over the weekend. Reuters reported this on November 18.

Brent crude rose 29 cents, or 0.4%, to $71.33 a barrel, while US West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures settled at $67.20 a barrel, up 18 cents, or 0.3% more than previous figures.

Two US officials said on Sunday that the airstrike marked a major change in Washington’s policy on the Ukraine-Russia conflict as President Joe Biden’s administration authorized Ukraine to use US-made weapons to strike Russia.

At least three oil refineries in the Russian Federation have had to stop processing due to heavy losses amid export curbs, rising oil prices and high borrowing costs, according to five industry sources.
