The Russian government has decided to ban gasoline exports from the country starting April 1 of this year. It is understood that this decision was developed in order to stabilize gasoline prices and prioritize the domestic market. However, experts responded to a request from Kommersant that the ban on oil may slow down the growth of prices, but will not lead to their sharp decline. It also became known that Russian oil companies have warned buyers that force majeure may be declared due to strikes on Baltic ports.
