Russia extended the ban on gasoline exports to ensure stability in the domestic fuel market. According to the government's decision, the temporary ban on gasoline and diesel exports has been extended until January 31, 2027.

Exports of diesel, marine fuel, and gas oil by producers will be exempt from these restrictions starting September 1. Additionally, shipments carried out under international intergovernmental agreements will also be excluded from the ban.
