Russia increases diesel exports to Central Asia
Articles mentioned an increase in Russia's diesel exports to Central Asian countries in August 2026, despite export restrictions imposed to address market shortages caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries. Shipments to Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Tajikistan doubled, exceeding 370,000 metric tons, even though Russian diesel production currently reaches around 170,000 tons per day, and the quantities are still insufficient to resume full-capacity exports. Additionally, local supplies within Russia decreased to 4.7 million tons in August, down from 5 million in July. From January to August, diesel exports to Central Asia and Afghanistan amounted to 2.5 million tons, with Mongolia remaining the largest importer.
