The Moscow Times reports that the Russian government is preparing an urgent meeting with major oil companies over surging fuel prices, which have risen nearly 50% since the start of the year, reportedly due to Ukrainian drone strikes.

The meeting will focus on measures to prevent retail gasoline prices from rising faster than inflation. Current fuel prices in Russia are said to be 11% higher than last year, compared to an overall consumer price index increase of 8.2%.
