Russia's energy ministry proposes ban on gasoline export
7/30/2021
Russia's energy ministry said it filed a proposal for the government to start a procedure for a ban on gasoline exports.
"The energy ministry proposed to the government to launch an urgent procedure of banning exports of gasoline," the ministry said in a statement.
It said earlier that the ban may help to reduce domestic prices for gasoline after they rose in recent months, which is a sensitive issue for Russia ahead of the September parliamentary election. (Reporting by Olesya Astakhova, writing by Maria Tsvetkova; editing by Diane Craft and Dan Grebler)
