An export gasoline ban has been imposed in Russia
This information was officially confirmed on February 27 by the representative of the Vice Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Aleksandr Novak.
What is important to understand is that Novak himself was the author of this idea and actively promoted it among Russian officials.
In order to level the hyped demand for oil products, it is necessary to take measures that contribute to the stabilization of prices on the domestic market of oil products, said Novak's letter, which he sent to the head of the government of the Russian Federation.
In addition, he drew attention to the approaching season of increased fuel demand associated with spring field work, scheduled repairs at the refinery, and summer vacations.
