Rosneft caps fuel sales at Russian gas stations after refinery drone strikes

Rosneft has introduced fuel purchase limits at its gas stations across Russia, restricting sales to 30 liters in cities and 50 liters on highways, with no fuel sold into canisters. The restrictions, confirmed by regional authorities in Karelia, Buryatia, Zabaykalsky Krai, and Novosibirsk Oblast, aim to prevent panic buying and ensure even fuel distribution. The measures follow a series of drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, including Rosneft's facilities in Novokuybyshevsk and Ryazan. Rosneft shares traded at 358.25 rubles, down 1.23%, having lost about 6.6% since October 30. The company's board recommended interim dividends of 9.44 rubles per share for nine months of 2026, with a shareholder meeting scheduled for December 23.
