Rosneft reimposes fuel sale limits at stations in seven regions

Rosneft, Russia's largest oil producer, has reimposed fuel sale limits at its gas stations in at least seven regions, less than a month after lifting all restrictions, following a new wave of Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian refineries. The limits are active in Karelia, Buryatia, Arkhangelsk, Novosibirsk, Penza, Krasnoyarsk, and Zabaykalsky regions, with authorities in Zabaykalsky claiming the restrictions apply nationwide across Rosneft's 62 regions. Regional officials report fuel reserves of over 26,000 tonnes, enough for about a month, with additional supplies being dispatched. Four Rosneft-linked refineries have been attacked in the past week and a half, including plants supplying the Moscow region. While fuel prices have not yet risen, residents in affected areas have begun panic-buying, and the independent fuel station chain Trassa has ceased operations due to financial difficulties.
