Russia extends diesel and marine fuel export ban until September 2026

The Russian Government has announced an extension of the export ban on diesel, marine fuel, and gas oils produced by domestic producers until September 30, 2026. The decision, communicated on August 29, aims to stabilize the domestic fuel market and ensure sufficient internal supply.

The measure comes amid ongoing challenges in the Russian energy sector, including refinery disruptions and drone attacks on energy infrastructure. These supply issues have contributed to fuel shortages in several regions of the country.

As one of the world's largest diesel exporters, typically ranking second only to the United States, Russia's decision to restrict exports may impact international fuel flows and force major buyers to seek alternative suppliers. Additionally, separate restrictions remain in place for non-producers, with diesel exports for non-producers banned until January 31, 2027, and jet fuel restrictions lasting until late November 2026.
