Damage to Russian oil refineries is decreasing, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Novak said the government had promptly taken a wide range of measures to saturate the domestic market with fuel, without detailing the specific steps taken or the extent of the damage being referenced.
Fuel supply concerns
Russia's refining sector has faced periodic disruptions in recent years, and officials have repeatedly emphasized efforts to stabilize domestic fuel supplies and prices.
The deputy prime minister's remarks suggest that whatever damage had affected refining capacity is now easing, though TASS did not report additional details on the cause of the damage or a timeline for full recovery.
Fuel market stability remains a sensitive issue for Russian authorities, particularly ahead of the winter season when domestic demand for refined products typically rises.
