Novak allowed the supply of excess oil products from Kazakhstan to Russia

Kazakhstan, if necessary, will be able to supply surplus petroleum products to Russia to maintain the stability of the domestic market. This was announced on July 25 by Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak.

"The surpluses that exist in Kazakhstan — there are, however, small amounts — can be supplied to the Russian Federation," he said.

According to him, Kazakhstan annually produces more than 1 million tons of petroleum products. In the current situation, Moscow and Astana have agreed to use the available additional volumes to mutually supply the markets of the two countries.

Novak noted that we are talking about small surpluses that can be sent to Russia if necessary. He stressed that such cooperation meets the interests of both sides and will ensure the stable operation of the fuel markets of the Russian Federation and Kazakhstan.
