The sale of gasoline on even and odd days depending on the car's number will, at best, provide a short-term effect, but will definitely not solve the problem of fuel shortages and queues at gas stations, believe drivers from Volgograd and the region interviewed by Caucasian Knot.

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.
