Russia increases diesel imports from Belarus.
Belarus increased its rail supply of diesel to Russia by 21%, to more than 131,000 tons in October. Gasoline shipments, on the contrary, decreased by 1%, to 174 thousand tons, due to repairs at refineries in Belarus.
In the months of January-October, the supply of Belarusian gasoline increased 8.5 times from year to year, to more than 1.21 million tons, and the supply of diesel almost five times, to 800 thousand tons, reports Reuters.
Since the beginning of summer, Kazakhstan has supplied only about 8 thousand tons of gasoline to Russia, although it provides the possibility of monthly deliveries of 10-15 thousand tons. Thus, the bulk of external support in the Russian market is provided by Belarusian imports and maritime imports, while the Kazakh direction remains limited.
In October 2026, maritime imports of oil products to Russia increased by 25% compared to September, to 54 thousand barrels per day, according to Kepler. More than 40 thousand barrels per day were supplied by Morocco, the rest of the volume came from Turkey.
However, imports remained significantly below the August record of 153,000 barrels per day, Kommersant reported.
