Russia’s leading oil company, Rosneft, has halted the sale of gasoline in canisters across the country, following recent Ukrainian strikes on oil infrastructure. The company attributes the decision to declining “seasonal demand,” though the timing coincides with increased attacks targeting Russia’s energy sector. Simultaneously, Rosneft has implemented a 90-liter limit per vehicle at its gas stations. This move restricts individuals from stockpiling fuel, potentially in anticipation of further disruptions. Analysts suggest the limitations are a response to damage sustained from drone attacks, impacting refining and distribution capabilities. The restrictions raise concerns about potential fuel shortages and price increases within Russia. The Kremlin has not yet officially commented on the situation.
