Russia Extends Diesel Export Ban for Producers Until End of October 2026

Russia's government has decided to extend the ban on diesel exports by producers until the end of October 2026, per Vedomosti sources citing a September 14 meeting with Deputy PM Novak. The extension continues an existing policy aimed at stabilizing domestic fuel prices, but the duration is longer than previously expected. This could tighten global diesel supply, especially ahead of winter demand, and may pressure European fuel markets.
