The restrictions were announced by the Ministry of Economic Development of the Transbaikal Region via the Max messenger, which said urban stations sell up to 30 litres per vehicle and highway stations up to 50. In the region, stations have been barred from selling more than 50 litres per car since 8 November.

Several Rosneft refineries have come under Ukrainian drone attack in recent weeks. The Novokuibyshevsk refinery in the Samara Region was attacked on 30 October, Bashneft-Novoil in Ufa on 31 October, and a refinery in the Ryazan Region on 5 November. A joint venture of Rosneft and Gazprom Neft in Yaroslavl (Slavneft-YANOS) was also hit, on 3 November. According to Bloomberg, Rosneft believes several more months of war with Ukraine could cause long-term damage to its business.
Overnight into Monday, Ukrainian drones attacked the refinery in Kirishi in the Leningrad Region, the main source of fuel for St Petersburg. Governor Alexander Drozdenko said 113 drones were shot down over the region and that there were "facts of UAVs hitting the industrial zone of the city of Kirishi." NASA's Firms service recorded a large fire at the facility, confirmed by geoanalysis by the outlet Astra. According to Bumaga, this is at least the fourth hit on the Kirishi refinery since the start of the year and the seventh during the war. Its nominal capacity is 20 million tonnes a year; in 2024 it refined 17.5 million tonnes of oil.
Two of the attacked Rosneft facilities — in Ryazan and Yaroslavl — are among the refineries that supply petrol to the Moscow region via a product pipeline. Lukoil's refinery in Kstovo in the Nizhny Novgorod Region, attacked on 1 November, is part of the same scheme. After the strike on NORS, the Nizhny Novgorod Region introduced a limit of 40 litres of petrol per car.
Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian fuel and energy facilities on 30 October; at least seven refineries were hit within a week. According to The Moscow Times, the attacks were paused for two weeks after a demand by President Donald Trump.
