The Russian government introduced a temporary export ban on gasoline, diesel fuel, marine fuel, and gazoil.
The ban is effective from August 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027.
Exemptions apply to diesel fuel, marine fuel, and gazoils exported directly by producers starting September 1.
Export is permitted under international intergovernmental agreements and for humanitarian aid to foreign countries.
The measure was introduced to maintain stability on the domestic fuel market.
The ban follows earlier restrictions on fuel exports due to a fuel crisis triggered by Ukrainian attacks on oil infrastructure.
