Russia's Energy Ministry said gasoline and diesel markets have shown improvement
after recent compensation measures, with output rising and stocks building. The
Federal Antimonopoly Service is taking steps to prevent violations in the
refined-fuel market and is urging local authorities to sign price-stability
agreements with independent gas stations. Deputy Prime Minister Novak said work
will continue, focusing on adjusting fuel prices, collecting regional data to
support timely decisions, and extending agreements with independent market
participants.
