Briefing: Russia to introduce ban on gasoline exports from April 1, govt says

Beginning April 1, 2026, Russia will prohibit gasoline exports as part of a strategy to stabilize domestic fuel prices. This decision reflects ongoing concerns about the volatility of fuel markets.

The ban is expected to impact supply chains and pricing structures both within Russia and potentially in neighboring markets that rely on Russian gasoline.

As the implementation date approaches, stakeholders in the energy sector will need to assess the implications for infrastructure capacity and operational adjustments required to comply with the new regulations.
