The price of A-95 gasoline hit a new record high on the St. Petersburg International Mercantile Exchange (SPIMEX), the Russian state news outlet Kommersant reported on Aug. 4.

The spike in prices is reportedly linked to ongoing Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries in Russia.

Russian Ai-95 gasoline prices have surged to over 77,000 rubles ($946.6) per ton, Kommersant reports. A market source told the publication that Ukrainian attacks on Aug. 2 contributed to the increase.

Ukraine launched a series of drone attacks overnight on Aug. 2 targeting industrial sites throughout Russia. The strikes hit facilities in Ryazan, Penza, Samara and Voronezh oblasts, Ukraine's General Staff reported.

The attack hit an oil refinery in Ryazan Oblast, the military said.

According to Kommersant's source, these attacks damaged refineries that process about 40,000 tons of Russian crude per day. Repairs could potentially take anywhere from one to six months to repair.

The price hike comes days after Russia on July 28 imposed a sweeping ban on gasoline exports, in effect until the end of August. Reuters reported on July 24 that the aim of the ban is to stabilize the domestic market.

The Russian government has resorted to temporary gasoline export bans multiple times over the past two years, typically to address domestic fuel shortages and alleviate high prices. Russia boasts an annual gasoline production exceeding 40 million metric tons. Its primary importers of refined fuel are Egypt and Turkey.

Russia’s state-run railroad operator has begun furloughing some of its administrative staff due to a sharp decline in freight traffic:

Managers at Russian Railways’ central office and certain regional branches have reportedly been required to take two unpaid days off each month since July. The policy is expected to remain in place through the end of 2025.

“The decision was made to preserve the company’s workforce, which would otherwise face reductions under the current economic conditions,” one source said.

Freight volumes have dropped significantly since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. After falling 3.9% that year and 0.2% in 2023, freight traffic saw its steepest decline in 15 years in 2024, down 4.1%, according to RBC.

From January to June of this year, freight loading dropped another 8% compared to the same period in 2024, totaling 554.5 million metric tons.

The downturn has forced Russian Railways to slash its investment program by nearly 40%, according to RBC. Reuters reported in May that the company was cutting investment spending due to mounting interest payments.

Net profit fell 95% to 2.7 billion rubles ($33.8 million) in the first half of 2025, according to Russian Accounting Standards. The rail company now expects to lose 87 billion rubles (about $1 billion) in revenue this year as cargo volumes continue to slide.

Last year, Russian Railways’ net profit fell to 13.9 billion rubles, down from 118.3 billion rubles in 2023, despite an 8.6% increase in revenue to 2.83 trillion rubles. Tick Tock.
