  • •Rosneft has reintroduced fuel purchase limits due to drone strikes on refineries.
  • •Customers are restricted to specific fuel quantities per visit, with no sales into canisters.
  • •The Russian government is simultaneously pursuing diesel exports to the US despite domestic shortages.

Rosneft has imposed fuel purchase limits across Russia following Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries. Customers can buy up to 30 liters of AI-95 gasoline, 50 liters of AI-92, and 100 liters of diesel per visit, with restrictions confirmed in at least seven regions. The limits were reinstated after a brief period of unrestricted sales, which had resumed on October 23. The drone strikes targeted multiple refineries, including those in Samara and Ufa, causing fuel shortages and long lines at gas stations. The Russian government is also pursuing diesel exports to the US, with an initial shipment of 300,000 tonnes planned. The situation reflects ongoing tensions and the impact of military actions on domestic fuel availability.
