Novak instructed to prepare measures to stabilize the fuel situation in the regions.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak instructed to prepare specific measures to stabilize the fuel situation in regions where large oil companies are not present. The relevant information was published on the official website of the Russian government on July 2.

It is specified that the deputy chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation held a meeting on the situation on the fuel market with the participation of representatives of ministries and industry companies. Special attention was paid to the subjects with the most difficult situation in terms of fuel supply. We are talking about regions where vertically integrated oil companies are not present. Novak reviewed in detail the availability of resources in these territories and the restrictions that affect the stability of supplies.

"The Ministry of Energy, together with industry companies, needs to work out and present specific measures and consistent steps aimed at stabilizing the situation in such entities by the next meeting," the statement said.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that, taking into account the dynamically changing situation, the next meeting of the headquarters will focus on the most vulnerable regions requiring additional targeted solutions.

Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko yesterday urged not to dramatize the situation in the Russian fuel market, noting that the government is taking measures to stabilize it. She recalled that Russian President Vladimir Putin held a meeting with members of the government on the fuel situation, and a working group led by Novak is looking for solutions to stabilize the market on a daily basis.

Novak said on June 29 that oil refineries in Russia are operating at maximum capacity to provide the necessary amounts of fuel, and also stated that Russian regions need to use the fuel resource efficiently, as well as distribute it carefully for their needs.
