Putin acknowledges gasoline shortages as at least 17 Russian regions restrict fuel sales
AI Market Summary
Putin's acknowledgment of gasoline shortages and the spread of mandatory fuel sales restrictions across at least 17 regions confirm a material supply disruption in Russia's refined products market. Ongoing drone strikes on refineries and inland energy infrastructure raise operational and logistics risk, while a potential diesel export ban would tighten regional product balances. Near-term, this increases risk premia across gasoline-linked supply chains and broader energy markets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly acknowledged gasoline shortages across the country, as drivers in multiple regions queued at filling stations and at least 17 regions imposed mandatory limits on gasoline and diesel sales. Authorities are considering a complete ban on diesel exports, while Ukraine’s drone strikes have hit energy infrastructure including facilities in the Krasnodar and Yaroslavl regions. Putin said Russia is drawing on gasoline reserves and expects July output to exceed June, even as supply gaps have become visible.
