US EditionThe Kremlin Bans Fuel Exports Until the End of the Year Due to Supply Disruptions Caused by Ukrainian Drones.
Russia extends gasoline export ban and adds diesel export restrictions for non-producers to address domestic shortages worsened by Ukrainian drone strikes, Deputy Prime Minister said.
- Russia extended its gasoline export ban for producers until September 30, 2025, and for non-producers until October 31, while imposing a diesel export ban for non-producers until year's end.
- The bans respond to fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian drone strikes damaging refineries, which reduced gasoline output by 10% and forced shutdowns at major facilities.
- The shortages have caused the closure of 360 gas stations across the country and created critical conditions in Crimea, where half of the fuel pumps have ceased operation and Sevastopol has completely depleted its gasoline supply.
- Gasoline prices surged nearly 50% since April with wholesale AI-92 prices reaching a record 79,788 rubles per ton, while Deputy PM Novak admitted a slight shortage but said reserves would cover gaps.
- The government expects the export restrictions to stabilize domestic supply through the difficult balance in September and October, allowing more fuel to remain available domestically despite ongoing challenges.
