The facts
The Zabaykalsky Krai Economic Development Ministry said Rosneft stations across Russia were limiting purchases to 30 litres at urban stations and 50 litres on highways, Meduza reported. [1]
NGS24 reporters observed a 30-litre limit at three Rosneft stations in Krasnoyarsk on 9 November; staff said the restriction had been in place there since 8 November. [4]
All grades of fuel were available at the three Krasnoyarsk stations NGS24 checked; the report said self-service terminals might not apply the same cap. [4]
Kyiv Independent and Ukrainska Pravda also reported the restrictions, citing Russian media or regional sources; neither establishes a nationwide shortage or its cause. [2][3]
Still unconfirmed
- Whether the limit is active at every Rosneft station in Russia.
- Rosneft’s explanation, the policy’s duration and whether supply constraints caused it.
- Whether consumers face a broader shortage; all fuel grades were available at the three sites checked by NGS24.

The claimed nationwide measure is attributed to a regional ministry through reporting, and is not supported by an opened Rosneft statement. NGS24 provides direct local observations at three Krasnoyarsk stations, which do not establish countrywide implementation. No nationwide shortage or cause is asserted.
