Russia ​exports jet fuel mainly by rail to ​Central Asia, including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

“This decision aims to ​ensure stability in the domestic fuel ​market,” the government’s statement said.

Russia has already restricted ‌gasoline ⁠exports but has yet to take action on diesel, though the Interfax news agency reported last week that measures were ​being considered.

Diesel ​production ⁠in Russia fell by about 10% in May, adding ​to a 10% monthly drop ​in ⁠April as Ukrainian drone attacks on refineries forced them to reduce or halt ⁠output, ​Reuters data showed on ​Friday, while exports of the fuel rose.
