Why has Russia increased gasoline imports from Belarus?

11:15 - 28.03.2024

March 28, Fineko/abc.az. Russia increased gasoline imports from Belarus due to disruptions at refineries in March.

Russia is a fuel exporting country in general, but after the shutdown of oil refineries in Russia, it was decided to increase imports, ABC.AZ reports.

Since the beginning of the year, Ukraine has repeatedly carried out drone attacks on Russian oil refineries.

Thus, in order to ensure sufficient fuel for the domestic market, Russia has imposed a ban on gasoline exports since March 1.
