Russia extends ban on diesel and gasoline exports until January 2027.

The Russian government has extended export restrictions on diesel and gasoline until January 31, 2027, it announced in an official statement on Thursday (30). The ban on diesel exports had initially been set for the period from July 8 to 31, as part of a set of measures aimed at ensuring domestic fuel supplies. The decision was adopted after successive Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries, which reduced processing capacity, caused fuel shortages in some regions, and boosted prices in the domestic market. In addition to diesel, Moscow had already imposed restrictions on exports of gasoline and aviation fuel in an attempt to preserve domestic supply in the face of the conflict's impact on the country's energy infrastructure.
