A surplus of petroleum products from Kazakhstan may be imported to the Russian market if necessary. This issue has already been discussed with the authorities of the neighboring state, said Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.
In the current situation, we have agreed with our colleagues that the surpluses available in Kazakhstan – though in small volumes – can be supplied to the Russian Federation if necessary.
Both sides are interested in ensuring the stability of the domestic markets of Russia and Kazakhstan, Novak emphasized.
Currently, the most acute fuel situation is in Crimea. This is not due to a shortage of gasoline, but to logistical problems "for known reasons," explained the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to him, Moscow is doing everything necessary to solve the problem. The difficulties are temporary, concluded the government representative.
In late May, fuel supply disruptions began in various regions of Russia. Gas stations started limiting the volume of gasoline and diesel fuel sold per person. The authorities decided to introduce a ban on gasoline sales until the end of 2026, and on diesel fuel until the situation stabilizes.
