Russia has extended its ban on diesel and gasoline exports until January 31, 2027, the government announced on July 30. The restrictions were first introduced on July 8 after Ukrainian drone attacks repeatedly hit oil refineries, causing fuel shortages and price spikes in the domestic market. Moscow aims to maintain stability at home. From September 1, producers will be allowed to export diesel, marine fuel and gas oils again. Some fuel will still leave under intergovernmental deals or as humanitarian aid. The government has also set up a temporary procedure until November 1 to guarantee farmers get enough fuel during harvest.
