Kazakhstan to Ask Russia, Belarus to Ban Export of Distillates

Kazakhstan will ask Russia and Belarus to ban the export of light distillates, gasoline and gas oil beyond the three countries' customs union for a period of six months. The request was published on the customs union commission's website.

According to the note, the Kazakhstan side has informed Russia and Belarus that it has ceased exporting light distillate (with the expectation of certain gasolines and furnace oil), jet fuel and gasoil for six months and is asking Moscow and Minsk to do the same.
