Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak assured that Russia has accumulated sufficient fuel volumes for the domestic market. According to RBC's calculations, over 30 regions have already introduced restrictions on the sale of gasoline and diesel per person.
The official acknowledged that authorities are restructuring logistical connections to meet current needs, and market balancing will require a certain amount of time.
Earlier, at a meeting with the President on June 23, Novak described the situation as difficult but controlled. The government has already imposed a complete ban on the export of gasoline and jet fuel, is considering a ban on diesel exports, and planned refinery maintenance has been postponed to later dates.
While federal authorities speak of sufficient reserves, regions are acting proactively. Dagestan has already introduced a limit of no more than 20 liters of gasoline per person, and Kaliningrad Oblast — no more than 30 liters. Oil companies have increased production, but the logistical gap between refineries and specific gas stations continues to pressure retail.
