Kazakhstan Agrees to Supply 50,000 Tons of Gasoline to Russia in July-August
According to Reuters, Kazakhstan has agreed to supply about 50,000 tons of AI-92 gasoline to Russia during July and August. This is not just a one-time shipment, but a significant volume over two months.
Later, Reuters confirmed that Russia has indeed started receiving gasoline from Kazakhstan by rail, and on July 25, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak reported a shipment of approximately 1,000 tons that has already been delivered, with the possibility of new shipments if necessary.
For the market, "Will regular gasoline supplies from Kazakhstan to Russia begin before September 1, 2026?" this is a strong signal leaning towards "Yes": there is an agreed volume for July-August and actual shipments have already begun. However, the term "regular" still depends on the market's own calculation rules.
