Russia introduced an export ban on jet fuel on Monday amid strained domestic supplies linked to Ukrainian strikes on oil infrastructure. The Moscow Times, citing a government notice, said the restrictions will run from June 1 to Nov. 30, with limited exceptions.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. “The exemption also applies to fuel in process tanks used by aircraft en route, batches of jet fuel placed under the customs procedure before the entry into force of the temporary restriction decree, as well as supplies under intergovernmental agreements,” the notice said. The Russian government said the measure is intended to “ensure a stable situation in the domestic fuel market.” The ban is not expected to directly affect Europe, despite earlier concerns over a looming jet fuel crisis linked to the US’s war in Iran. This is largely because Russia’s jet fuel exports are primarily transported by rail to Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, according to Reuters. The move follows earlier restrictions on gasoline exports introduced in December 2025. Under the decree, gasoline exports were restricted through Feb. 28, 2026, and applied to all exporters, including producers. Russia later renewed the ban, which was reinstated in April and is set to remain in place until the end of July, according to Reuters. Despite the restrictions, fuel shortages have also been reported in occupied Crimea due to supply disruptions and logistical challenges linked to Ukrainian strikes.
