According to Reuters, russia asked Kazakhstan to create an emergency stockpile of 100,000 tons of gasoline and be ready to supply fuel to rf.
Thus, russia is trying to cover the market deficit, which arose due to drone attacks on oil refineries. According to the agency's sources, Kazakhstan's own reserves of AI-92 gasoline on April 5 were 307.7 thousand tons, AI-95 reserves - 58 thousand tons, diesel reserves - 435.3 thousand tons.
On March 1, russia banned gasoline exports for six months. Reuters also reports that since February, russia has sharply increased gasoline imports from belarus.
