the price of Russian oil remains high, but the country reduces the supply of oil abroad.
the rising cost of fuel in Russia resulted in a sharp increase in demand because of the surge in transport activity after removal of quarantine restrictions in the country. During the quarantine in Russia decreased fuel consumption by 40-50%. This led to a decrease in the production of gasoline in Russia in April for the first time on 10%.

The exports of petroleum products will be reduced, and the supply of the domestic market will increase noted earlier the energy Ministry.
the causes of the rise in price of gasoline — damping mechanism, reducing the required volume of gasoline sales on the stock exchange and the ban of the import fuel into the country. These restrictions were imposed on the quarantine period to support the oil companies.
