As further stated, this prompted the head of Russia’s largest oil company, Rosneft, Igor Sechin, to address a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, in which he described the damage as “unprecedented.”The letter was leaked to the public by the Russian newspaper Kommersant, which reported that in it Sechin asked Putin to temporarily abolish the obligation to sell fuel on the stock exchange, as around 80 percent of purchased fuel ends up with resellers who then inflate prices.Sechin also demanded that priority access to fuel purchases be granted exclusively to end consumers.To cover shortages, he proposes that all oil companies be required to process at least 30% of extracted crude domestically, that lower-quality “Euro-3” fuel be allowed on the market, and that the state introduce a mechanism making gasoline imports economically viable.Putin acknowledged the problem with fuel supply but dismissed the Ukrainian attacks on oil facilities as “non-critical,” according to his assessment. The Kremlin has nevertheless banned exports of gasoline and kerosene in order to secure more supply for the domestic market, and has even begun importing gasoline from India — despite Russia being one of the world’s largest oil producers.Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak has also downplayed the severity of the situation, saying the fuel market is “difficult but under control,” while Finance Minister Anton Siluanov has even denied that the crisis caused a rise in gasoline prices.
