"The government approved additional measures to stabilize the domestic fuel market," the government said in a statement.
The Russian government has lifted restrictions on the export of diesel fuel to ports via pipelines for those who supply at least 50% of their production to the domestic market, the statement read.
"To prevent possible 'gray' exports after the lifting of current restrictions on the export of fuel outside the country, a protective duty on petroleum products has been introduced. It will amount to 50,000 rubles [$495] per one tonne for suppliers of petroleum products who do not produce them themselves, but purchase them on the market for resale," the government said.
