Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak recently addressed the state of the domestic fuel market, acknowledging that a 5% gasoline shortage persists. While noting that the situation has shown signs of improvement over the last few weeks, the government continues to treat the supply issue as a priority.
Novak outlined the multi-pronged approach being taken by the government in coordination with oil companies. The primary strategy involves a dual focus: increasing domestic production and securing gasoline imports from other countries to bridge the supply gap.
To maintain stability for consumers, Novak confirmed that Russia will continue to import gasoline at least until the end of the year. These measures are intended to ensure that the domestic market remains supplied while production levels are optimized. The government continues to monitor the situation at gas stations and across regions to track the effectiveness of these ongoing efforts.
