  "textContent": "WEB DESK: The Russian government has announced a comprehensive ban on gasoline exports scheduled to take effect from 1 April, aimed at stabilising a volatile domestic market.\n\nAccording to reports from the state-owned news agency TASS, the restriction will remain in place until 31 July.\n\nThis decisive move comes as the Kremlin faces mounting pressure over rising fuel costs and the need to ensure sufficient supply for the nation’s agricultural sector during the crucial spring sowing season.\n\n### Stabilising the pumps amid refinery pressures\n\nThe temporary embargo is largely seen as a defensive measure to prevent a supply crunch following a series of technical outages and drone strikes on key Russian oil refineries.\n\nBy restricting the flow of petrol to international markets, Moscow hopes to dampen domestic price inflation, which has become a sensitive political issue.\n\nWhile the ban covers most foreign buyers, exceptions are expected for member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as certain countries with direct intergovernmental supply agreements.\n\nThe post Russia to halt petrol exports from April as domestic prices surge appeared first on HUM News.",
