According to Putin, the capacity of Russia’s largest oil refineries is currently being used at full capacity, and previously accumulated fuel volumes have entered the Russian domestic market.

“A complete ban on gasoline exports has been introduced, and a ban on diesel fuel exports is being discussed. There are queues at gas stations, and the required grades of fuel are not always available,” the Kremlin leader said.

At the same time, the Russian dictator acknowledged that a complete ban on diesel fuel exports is being discussed. Furthermore, Putin ordered systemic measures to stabilize the Russian fuel market.

Focus previously reported on Russia’s request for fuel supplies from India. To this end, Russia is proposing budget subsidies for oil companies purchasing gasoline abroad.

Subsequently, it became known that Ukraine is exacerbating the fuel crisis in Russia. Gasoline shortages in occupied Crimea, restrictions on fuel sales, and budget problems are leading experts to talk about a new stage of economic pressure on Russia.

  1. No exports, no money.
    Ukraine cannot let up on its campaign of destruction of the mafia oil industry. This is the key to forcing this trashy, evil, garbage country to its knees.

  2. “Focus previously reported on Russia’s request for fuel supplies from India. ”

    The gas station has to beg other countries for gas. By the time it has travelled from India the price will have increased more than what the sheep are paying now.
