Summary
Russia has authorized its oil refineries to produce lower-quality Euro-3 gasoline through the end of 2024, as Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil infrastructure have created a growing domestic fuel shortage. The decree, signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, aims to stabilize the fuel supply and prevent destabilization in Russia's domestic motor fuel market. This marks a regulatory rollback from higher environmental fuel standards in response to wartime supply pressures.
