Moscow's fuel stations limit sales amid shortages
Major chains in Moscow have capped gasoline sales as drone strikes and refinery shutdowns tighten supplies across Russia, with exchange sales down 20% this month, Reuters reported.
- Major Moscow gas station chains including Gazprom Neft, Rosneft, and Tatneft reintroduced fuel purchase limits this week, capping sales between 30 and 60 liters per vehicle amid renewed shortages.
- Persistent Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries throughout late July and August forced unscheduled facility shutdowns, significantly straining domestic fuel infrastructure during peak summer travel season.
- Local authorities in Volgograd and Perm have detained and fined residents who publicly complained about fuel shortages, labeling their video appeals as "unauthorized public events."
- The Russian government extended export bans on gasoline and diesel through early next year while procuring fuel from Belarus, Kazakhstan, and India to mitigate domestic supply deficits.
- Analysts warn the fuel crisis may peak in September as scheduled maintenance at major Russian refineries and Belarus's Novopolotsk facility further reduces already constrained domestic production capacities.
