Russia's Energy Ministry confirms no diesel export ban for producers amid fuel shortages caused by Ukrainian attacks. Measures are in place to stabilize supply.
MOSCOW (Reuters) -Russia's Energy Ministry is not currently considering a diesel export ban for producers, it said on Friday.
Russia is facing fuel shortages after a spate of Ukrainian attacks on its refineries.
Earlier this week Russia imposed a partial ban on diesel exports, covering marine fuel and other gas oils, for resellers, while producers remain exempt.
It also extended a gasoline export ban, which applies to all exporters, until year-end.
On Friday the energy ministry said it is taking all necessary steps to ensure stable fuel supply, monitoring the market daily and coordinating closely with industry players amid fast-changing conditions.

Fuel shortages occur when the demand for fuel exceeds the available supply, often leading to increased prices and potential disruptions in transportation and industry.
A gasoline export ban is a restriction that prevents the export of gasoline from a country, typically aimed at ensuring sufficient domestic supply and stabilizing prices.
Gas oils are a category of petroleum products used primarily as fuel for engines and heating, and they include various grades of diesel and other distillates.
