Moscow and Moscow region introduce petrol sales restrictions

The Moscow region petrol station chain ORTK has imposed restrictions on petrol sales. The announcement appeared in Russian media outlets Msk1.ru and "Ostorozhno, Moskva".

Moscow and Moscow region's petrol station chain ORTK has begun restricting petrol sales, according to Russian media outlets Msk1.ru and "Ostorozhno, Moskva".

This represents a significant step in Russia's largest urban region, where fuel shortages could affect millions of residents and businesses. The ORTK petrol station network is one of the region's major fuel suppliers.

Fuel sales restrictions in a major urban area point to potential supply problems in Russia's fuel sector, which in recent years has faced multiple challenges from both sanctions and imbalances in the domestic market.
