Kyrgyzstan will not face a fuel shortage despite Russia's recent ban on the export of gasoline, diesel, and aviation kerosene, according to Daniyar Amangeldiev, the first deputy chairman of the Kyrgyz cabinet.

Amangeldiev stated that the cabinet has already taken operational steps to address the issue, focusing on duty-free imports of fuel. The existing mechanism for this will be extended, and all necessary decisions are currently being formalized. "This issue has already been agreed upon within the 'five,'" Amangeldiev said, referring to the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) member states.

The first deputy prime minister assured the public that the fuel market situation remains stable. He emphasized that the cabinet is implementing all necessary measures to prevent any deficit of essential fuels within Kyrgyzstan.
