The story so far as of 31 October 2026
On October 10, 2026, the Russian government announced a partial lifting of the diesel export ban following an agreement between Presidents Putin and Trump. This decision aimed to stabilize the domestic market and international trade relations. However, on October 31, Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin extended the ban on diesel, marine fuel, and gas oils for direct producers to ensure domestic energy security amidst market volatility. This extension continues to restrict outbound shipments and affects energy producers' revenues.
