Russia's fuel shortage problem is under control, but a temporary
ban on gasoline exports could be put in place, the country's energy
ministry said Thursday.
"The situation with regard to gasoline and diesel fuel is under
control," the ministry said in a statement.
The comment followed a meeting between acting Energy Minister
Sergei Kudryashov, heads of Russian oil companies and officials
from Russian regions to discuss a looming fuel shortage in some
parts of the country.
Earlier Thursday, Kudryashov was quoted by parts of the Russian
media as saying oil companies will halt exports of oil products in
May.
"Such measures are only being discussed in relation to
gasoline," the ministry said.
The ministry said current stocks of fuel are enough to last for
up to three weeks, depending on the region.
