The Russian government has imposed a temporary ban on the export of gasoline, diesel fuel, and other types of petroleum products until the end of July 2026.
This was reported by the press service of the State Duma.
The Russian government has introduced a temporary ban on the export of gasoline, diesel fuel and other types of fuel until July 31, 2026. The corresponding resolution was signed by Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The Russian government noted that the decision is aimed at maintaining a stable situation in the domestic fuel market.
“The government has introduced a new temporary ban on the export of gasoline, diesel fuel and other types of fuel until July 31, 2026. The corresponding resolution has been signed,” the press service said.
At the same time, it is clarified that the ban on the export of motor gasoline will not apply to direct producers of petroleum products. The Russian authorities explain this by the need to prevent the risks of overstocking the production capacities of oil companies.
