Russia introduces petrol limits at Rosneft petrol stations, with security forces monitoring compliance

Fuel supply restrictions in regions

Against the backdrop of difficulties in fuel supply in the Russian Federation, restrictions on petrol sales have come into effect. The Rosneft petrol station network has established fuel release quotas in various parts of the country. This is reported by Russian mass media.

According to data published by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Zabaykalsky Krai on the social network Max, different limits have been set for drivers depending on the type of territory. In cities, the purchase of no more than 30 litres of petrol is permitted, while on highways this figure stands at 50 litres.

Enhanced measures in Karelia and Nizhny Novgorod Oblast

Similar restrictive measures are being implemented in other administrative units of the Russian Federation. In Karelia, local authorities have informed about the establishment of limits on the sale of petrol and diesel fuel. A ban on the release of fuel into jerrycans is also in effect there.

In Nizhny Novgorod Oblast, separate enhanced rules have been introduced. The limit per vehicle is restricted to 40 litres of petrol. The sale of fuel in jerrycans is prohibited, and the release of fuel to vehicles registered in other regions is restricted at petrol stations located near the oblast borders.

Monitoring compliance with rules

To ensure compliance with the established quotas, a watch has been organised at petrol stations in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast. Representatives of the Rosgvardia and volunteers participate in it, monitoring the observance of the aforementioned rules.
