120 thousand tons of petroleum products from Russia and Belarus to be supplied to Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan will get about 120 thousand tons of fuel by the end of this year. Basic supplies are planned from Russia and Belarus. But now the Russians themselves are experiencing fuel shortages due to some oil refinery downtime and increasing the domestic consumption, according to almaty.tv.

The issue of the lack of fuel and its appreciation the answer cannot be found in Kazakhstan as well as in the territory of its main partner in the delivery - Russia. The State Duma approved the increase in excise duties on petrol, which will directly affect the cost of fuel from next year towards the 15% appreciation. But now currency fluctuations exert great pressure on the price.

"There is a jump from the fact that the dollar and the euro rose to the national currency. This is mainly due to the foreign exchange risks, of course. Because we now have a binding, because the price we have was connected more with it, not with the deficient", - Olga Golant, the spokesman of the RF Ministry of Energy, stated.
