The cost of fuel in Moscow has stabilized and even began to decline slightly in early March. Prior to that, gasoline prices at Moscow filling stations began to rise noticeably in 2020, while diesel fuel has risen in price since mid-January 2021. This happened after the rapid growth of wholesale prices on the stock exchange.
