Russia is rerouting fuel supplies from Siberia to prevent shortages in the Moscow region. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Reuters.
The move is part of the Russian government's efforts to stabilize fuel prices and ensure supplies on the domestic market. Additional volumes of fuel from Siberian refineries are planned to be sent to Moscow.
According to Reuters sources, the decision was made amid rising fuel prices and supply disruptions in Russia's domestic market. No fuel shortages have been observed in Moscow and surrounding regions, but authorities decided to take preventive measures.
The step is aimed at preventing instability in Russia's energy sector. Increased fuel supplies from Siberia to Moscow are expected to help stabilize the fuel market in the capital.
