Rosneft has limited fuel sales at its gas stations across Russia, according to a post by the Zabaykalsky Krai Economic Development Ministry on the Max messenger.

Evidence
One search turned up a Meduza English article (URL dated 2026/11/09) that reports this claim almost word for word. It says the Zabaykalsky Krai Economic Development Ministry posted on Max that Rosneft had imposed fuel purchase limits across Russia: up to 30 liters at city stations and up to 50 liters on highways. Meduza adds that the ministry gave no further details. Meduza also cites Kommersant reporting limits at Rosneft stations in Krasnoyarsk, including in the Yandex Gas Stations app. Those limits were 30 L of AI-95, 50 L of AI-92 and 100 L of diesel per customer. I did not find the original Max post, a Rosneft statement, or any Reuters, AFP, Bellingcat or EUvsDisinfo fact-check. I only read the Meduza article and did not check Kommersant directly.
Supporting sources
Assessment
A credible outlet, Meduza, accurately reports that the ministry made the post, and Kommersant's report of local limits in Krasnoyarsk supports it. I could not see the original post, and I found no Rosneft confirmation that the limits apply nationwide.
Confidence
Some independent corroboration was found, but it isn't yet conclusive.
