Russia imports 270,000 tonnes of refined fuel from Asia amid refinery disruptions

Russia is set to receive nearly 270,000 tonnes of refined fuel from Asian countries in August 2024. Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries have significantly curtailed domestic fuel production, forcing the country to seek imports.

To manage the domestic shortfall, Russia has also tightened restrictions on its own fuel exports.

Indian-origin UK student wins Young Engineer award for medical drone AeroAid

Kanav Jain, a Scottish student of Indian origin, has been named UK Young Engineer of the Year for developing AeroAid, a low-cost autonomous drone designed to deliver medical supplies. The aircraft is a VTOL quadplane, meaning it can take off and land vertically like a helicopter while also flying efficiently like a fixed-wing plane. This hybrid design makes it particularly suited for reaching remote or underserved areas with limited infrastructure. Jain developed the project with a focus on using technology for humanitarian purposes, and he is also active in leading drone technology workshops.
