The Kremlin has lifted a temporary ban on fuel exports for those producing it, it has announced.
"The decision was taken to maintain a stable situation in the domestic fuel market, support the economy of oil refining, and counteract grey exports of motor gasoline," a government statement said.
At the same time, the temporary restrictions on fuel exports for non-producers has has been extended until the end of January - having been set to expire at the end of the year.
Those restrictions were put into place as Russia sought to keep its domestic supply stable amid seasonal demand and heavy Western sanctions.
Russia has used a number of routes in order to bypass the sanctions, which our economics and data editor Ed Conway has been looking at extensively.
