Gasoline rationing returns to Moscow and St. Petersburg as Rosneft caps fills nationwide
Rationing has returned to Russia’s two biggest cities, and Rosneft is now capping fills at 30 liters at every station in the country.
Russia is once again facing a fuel crisis, as Ukrainian strikes on its oil refineries have led to rationing in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The largest oil producer, Rosneft, has capped gasoline sales nationwide at 30 liters per car, a significant reduction from its previous limit of 90 liters. Other major oil companies, Gazprom Neft and Tatneft, have also imposed limits, with Gazprom Neft restricting sales to 40 liters per car in Moscow and 50 liters at AI-95 and AI-92 stations.
Many stations reported no stock of AI-95, leading to empty shelves and frustrated drivers. The crisis comes as Ukraine continues to target Russian refineries, disrupting the fuel supply that powers the Russian military and funds the war effort. Despite claims that supply remains adequate, long lines and rationing are once again a reality in several regions.
