Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak announced that the fuel price in Russia was affected by the Ural discounts and the decline in the ruble exchange rate, as well as the rise in world oil prices. This was reported by TASS.
According to him, in the last few months there has been an average increase in foreign exchange wholesale prices of 15% for gasoline and 30% for diesel fuel.
During this time, many factors simultaneously affect these indicators, says Novak. These include the increase in world oil prices, the decrease in discounts on the sale of the Russian Ural brand and the weakening of the ruble against the dollar.

According to the decision of the Council of Ministers, the temporary ban on Russian fuel exports will not apply to EAEU countries and humanitarian aid.
