Kyrgyzstan Not to Be Left Without Fuel After Russia's Export Ban

Kyrgyzstan is bracing for potential fuel shortages following Russia's recent ban on exports of gasoline, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene. The prohibition, implemented by Russia, is expected to impact fuel availability in Kyrgyzstan, a key trading partner.

Daniyar Amangeldiev, First Deputy Chairman of the Cabinet of Ministers, confirmed the impending impact and outlined the government's swift response. He stated that urgent measures are being taken to secure duty-free imports of fuel and lubricants. The current import mechanisms are set to be extended, with all necessary decisions in the final stages of formalization.

Amangeldiev assured that the situation within the fuel market remains stable. He emphasized that the Cabinet of Ministers is actively implementing necessary measures to prevent any shortage of gasoline, diesel fuel, and aviation kerosene within Kyrgyzstan. The government's actions are aimed at mitigating the effects of Russia's export restrictions and ensuring a consistent fuel supply for the country.

The issue has been discussed and agreed upon within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union, a regional economic bloc that includes both Russia and Kyrgyzstan. This collaborative approach aims to address the challenges posed by the export ban and maintain regional economic stability.
