Other major retailers imposed similar restrictions. Rosneft reportedly capped purchases at 90 liters (24 gallons) per vehicle or container, while Lukoil limited sales to 100 liters (26 gallons) per transaction. Restrictions beyond Moscow Similar measures were introduced at Tatneft gas stations in St. Petersburg, where customers were likewise limited to 20 liters (5 gallons) of gasoline and 40 liters (10 gallons) of diesel. In Tatarstan, officials confirmed that temporary limits had also been put in place, describing them as a precaution to prevent “artificial panic” and maintain market stability. However, some local authorities sought to reassure consumers, with St. Petersburg’s energy committee saying there were no signs of fuel shortages.

On Friday, drones reportedly targeted the Taneco refinery – one of Russia’s largest – and the TAIF-NK refinery in Nizhnekamsk, both key assets in the country’s refining sector.
