"The issue is currently under negotiation, and the Russian side has not yet given its consent," the ministry said, The Caspian Post reports citing Kyrgyz media.

Under bilateral agreements, Russia annually supplies Kyrgyzstan with 1.2 million tons of duty-free fuel and lubricants.

"By the end of 2025, Kyrgyzstan intends to increase the quota for diesel fuel by 100,000 tons and add another 60,000 tons to the aviation kerosene quota," he said.

According to the Ministry of Energy, the two sides continue negotiations on duty-free fuel supplies for 2026.
