The press service of the Russian Federation Government announced on December 27 that the Russian government passed a resolution on the 25th to extend the temporary ban on automobile gasoline exports until February 28, 2026. The ban will be in effect for all exporters, including direct producers. Another resolution passed by the Russian government stipulates that the ban on the export of diesel, marine fuel oil and other gas oil has also been extended until February 28, 2026, but this ban does not apply to direct producers of petroleum products. The above measures take effect the day after the resolution is officially published. Russia's previous ban on automobile gasoline exports will be in effect for all exporters until the end of this year. The same period of time restrictions have also been imposed on the export of diesel, marine fuel oil and other gas oils by non-producers. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Novak said on the 25th that the Russian petroleum products market has now reached balance, and previously consumed inventories have recovered to higher levels than a year ago. He pointed out that demand was at its peak from August to September, and gasoline and diesel exports were restricted, first of all, to protect the domestic market.
