Putin approves list of fuel and energy information with restricted access

Russian president Vladimir Putin signed an executive order approving the list of information with restricted access in the fuel and energy sector, as well as the procedures for its use.

Putin signed a decree further restricting disclosures of information about energy and oil products to counter sanctions from the United States and other Western countries.

The decree outlines a number of restrictions on the publication, including via mass media, in response “to unfriendly actions taken in violation of international law” by the United States of America and foreign states and international organisations aligned with it.

According to the presidential decree dated September 28, as posted on the official portal for the disclosure of legal acts, the measures have been implemented owing to the need for urgent action in response to “unfriendly acts that violate international law.”
