Rosneft Imposes Nationwide Fuel Limits Amid Ukrainian Strikes
What happened
Rosneft introduced fuel purchase limits in several Russian regions. These limits allow motorists to buy up to 30 liters of city petrol or 50 liters on highways. Restrictions were also placed in Krasnoyarsk and Karelia, where filling canisters is prohibited. These limits followed renewed Ukrainian strikes on Russian fuel facilities since late October.

Why it matters
The imposition of sales restrictions by Rosneft occurs while Ukraine continues to strike Russian energy targets. This action takes place amid negotiations between Kyiv, Moscow, and Washington in Abu Dhabi, which were previously influenced by pressure from Donald Trump to cease attacks.
