The fuel supply situation in Russia has begun to improve: restrictions on the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel are being reduced in several regions, and queues at gas stations are becoming shorter. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported a partial stabilization of the market after a government meeting.
According to Novak, the measures taken are already yielding results. These include a temporary ban on petroleum product exports, increased fuel supplies to regions through additional volumes, and the rescheduling of planned refinery maintenance.
The government noted that the improvement in the situation is evident from the growing number of operating gas stations and reduced pressure on them. However, the situation remains tense in some regions of the country, so authorities continue to monitor supplies and interact with regions and oil companies.
Problems with fuel availability began to emerge in late May. Restrictions on the sale of gasoline and diesel fuel at gas stations were introduced in several dozen regions. To stabilize the market, authorities increased supply volumes and adjusted refinery repair plans.
