Russia Rules Out Diesel Export Ban Amid Global Fuel Concerns

The Russian Energy Ministry has confirmed that it is not currently considering a ban on diesel fuel exports by domestic producers.

"This issue was not discussed at the meeting of the center on the situation in the domestic market of petroleum products, which was held on October 2, 2025 in the Ministry of Energy," the ministry said, The Caspian Post reports, citing Russian media.

The ministry underscores that it continues taking all the requisite measures to provide the country with fuel and interacts with the industry on a going basis.

The Russian government earlier introduced gasoline and diesel fuel export restrictions until the end of this year. The ban for gasoline was extended for all market participants, while the ban on diesel fuel, marine fuel oil and other gasoils was introduced for non-producers only.
