Russian Deputy PM Orders Immediate Measures to Secure Domestic Fuel Supply
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak issued direct orders to relevant authorities and oil companies to implement additional steps ensuring fuel availability in regions still experiencing acute shortages.
Meeting details
Novak convened a working session with representatives from the Ministries of Energy and Agriculture, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, as well as officials from the Far East Development Ministry and regional heads. The discussion covered fuel supply conditions in the oblasts of Orenburg, Lipetsk, Tyver, Oryol, the Republic of Tyva, Krasnodar Krai, Khakasia, Trans‑Baikal, Primorsky Krai and Krasnoyarsk Krai.
The Energy Ministry’s delegate reported noticeable tension in fuel deliveries to stations across several areas, prompting the government to monitor fuel prices for agricultural producers and retail station rates.
Background
The measures follow mounting pressure on Russia’s energy supplies after global fuel price hikes and slowed output in certain fields. Authorities aim to prevent any disruption that could affect agriculture and the domestic economy.
This latest step underscores Moscow’s commitment to stabilising the internal market and meeting consumer needs amid volatile global prices.
