and the

imposed on Russia have pushed fuel prices to their all-time high.

Despite the fact that this price escalation began at the beginning of 2021 -with the increase in demand brought about by the economic recovery after confinement- the conflict has aggravated this situation, causing a more disproportionate increase.
