- A Moscow petrol retailer, Neftmagistral (about 100 stations), raised 95‑octane petrol roughly 19% in a week to ~95 roubles/litre and the antimonopoly watchdog (FAS) has asked for an explanation.
- The hike came after Ukrainian drone attacks on a Moscow refinery that supplies the region, though Moscow itself hasn’t faced major fuel shortages or queues.
- Other major petrol chains are selling much cheaper — e.g., Rosneft listed 95‑octane at 73.6 roubles/litre — highlighting a big local price gap.
