Fuel Shortage in Russia: Moscow Bans Diesel Exports
The country will also start importing fuel as early as July
Russia has banned the export of diesel fuel and will begin importing fuels as early as July as part of measures to overcome the shortage of gasoline and diesel on the domestic market.
This was announced by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak during a government meeting.
The decision comes amid fuel supply issues in the country, as authorities seek to ensure the supply of the domestic market.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that despite the "enemy's" attempts to damage the Russian economy, the country's energy system remains among the strongest in the world.
"The Russian energy system is one of the most powerful and reliable in the world," Putin said, emphasizing that the sector continues to function stably despite external pressure.
The ban on diesel exports and the upcoming import of fuels demonstrate Moscow's determination to control the fuel shortage and stabilize the domestic market.
