Russia has lifted the temporary ban on low-quality diesel and marine fuel exports, which was implemented to stabilize fuel prices in the domestic market. The ban on all types of gasoline and higher-quality diesel remains in place. The government exempted fuel already accepted for export before the ban came into effect. Analysts believe the ban may not last long, as Russia may not want to close refineries' fuel processing capacities due to export restrictions. The lifting of the ban could alleviate tightness in the global diesel market.

Russia has banned the export of gasoline and diesel in order to stabilize fuel prices in the domestic market and ensure sufficient supply for its military operations in Ukraine. The ban, which does not affect close ally Belarus, could indirectly impact global fuel prices. Energy exports are a significant source of revenue for Russia, and the country's decision to halt exports is unusual given its vast oil and gas reserves. The ban has already led to a drop in wholesale gasoline and diesel prices in Russia.

Russia has implemented a temporary ban on the export of gasoline and diesel to countries outside of the Eurasian Economic Union, consisting of Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia, and Kyrgyzstan, in an effort to stabilize the domestic fuel market and reduce prices for consumers. The ban aims to prevent unauthorized "grey" exports and comes as Russia faces shortages of fuel due to factors such as refinery maintenance, railway bottlenecks, and the weak ruble. The government has also increased mandatory supply volumes and established daily monitoring of fuel purchases for agricultural needs.
