Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban Until September 30 Amid Ukrainian Attacks on Oil Refineries

Russia extended its ban on diesel fuel, marine fuel, and crude oil exports until September 30, 2026, citing the need to meet domestic demand and stabilize prices. The decision follows intensified Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, which have disrupted supply chains. The ban, previously set to expire on August 31, now adds to global fuel shortages.

The Russian government announced the extension of the export ban through a decree published on August 29, 2026, on its official website. The restriction applies to diesel fuel, marine fuel, and crude oil, with the aim of ensuring domestic supply stability. Ukraine has intensified attacks on oil refineries, particularly in the southern regions, prompting the extension of the ban to prevent further disruptions to domestic energy markets. Sources confirm the extension of the ban until September 30, with some outlets noting that the previous deadline was August 31. The ban was previously in effect until that date, and the extension is part of a broader strategy to manage domestic energy needs amid ongoing conflict. The move has exacerbated global fuel shortages, as Russia was a major exporter of diesel fuel before the escalation of attacks in Ukraine.
