What happened

The Russian government extended its bans on export of diesel and gasoline until January 31, 2027, it said in a statement on Thursday (July 30, 2026).

Why it matters

Russia initially introduced the ban on diesel from July 8 to July 31 as part of a broader package of measures to support the domestic fuel market after repeated Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries triggered fuel shortages and price spikes.

Common ground

Moscow had already imposed restrictions on exports of gasoline and jet fuel.

Perspective signals
