The gasoline shortage and price difference have caused queues at gas stations in Chechnya.
AI-95 at Rosneft gas stations in Chechnya is sold for 73 rubles per liter, while at private gas stations the price is already 105 rubles. As a result, queues for cheap gasoline arise, where people have to spend several hours. At the same time, Rosneft sells only 20 liters, which does not meet the needs, car owners reported.

— Russia's potential diesel export ban could trigger fuel shortages across multiple regions, the Financial Times reports. A Russian ban on diesel exports risks causing fuel shortages in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Moscow's decision coincides with Trump's announcement ending the US-Iran ceasefire, which has further reduced Persian Gulf supply flows. The combined effect has driven a sharp rise in wholesale diesel prices in Europe, with trading data showing prices approaching 135 per barrel.@IntelSlava

An oil superpower that can’t fill its own gasoline tanks: How Ukraine’s drone war upended Russia’s fuel market
Shortages of gasoline and diesel have affected most of Russia’s regions, as well as the annexed areas of Ukraine, to one degree or another. Regional restrictions usually take the form of bans on filling canisters and limits on how much any one customer can buy. At some gas stations, there’s no gasoline or diesel at all; at others, lines stretch for miles, and drivers spend hours — sometimes dozens of hours — waiting.

Willingly or Unwittingly, Russia Imposes Hellish Sanctions against Turkey and EU
Russia's decision to suspend diesel fuel exports has created significant disruption across global energy markets, affecting major importers and raising concerns about higher transportation and agricultural costs during the peak harvest season. Diesel Export Ban Reshapes Global Fuel Markets Analysts cited by the Financial Times have suggested that Russia's decision to halt diesel exports may serve as a geopolitical tool intended to increase pressure on Western governments over continued Ukrainian strikes against Russian oil refineries. Those assessments differ from suggestions that the measure was introduced because of a domestic diesel shortage. While Russia has experienced tighter gasoline supplies, diesel fuel has not faced the same level of scarcity on the domestic market.
