Kyrgyzstan Maintains Fuel Supply Despite Russian Export Restrictions

Kyrgyzstan continues receiving fuel supplies in full despite Russia’s temporary gasoline export restrictions introduced on August 27, 2025.

The measure does not apply to the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), ensuring uninterrupted deliveries to Kyrgyzstan under the 2016 intergovernmental agreement with Russia, The Caspian Post reports via Kyrgyz media.

The Energy Ministry confirmed that the indicative balance volumes, combined with domestic reserves, are sufficient to meet the country’s needs. Kyrgyzstan’s annual consumption of fuel and lubricants averages 1.6 million tons, with 93 per cent imported from Russia. While the agreed 2025 volumes are still being fulfilled, supplies are proceeding smoothly. Negotiations are also underway to determine new volumes for 2026.

Since mid-summer, domestic prices for gasoline and diesel have risen due to higher global oil prices and maintenance work at several Russian refineries. The Ministry of Energy stated that all necessary measures are being taken to maintain market stability and ensure uninterrupted fuel supplies to consumers.
