Russia seeks to buy 50,000 tons of gasoline from Kazakhstan to ease domestic fuel shortage
Russia is negotiating with Kazakhstan to buy about 50,000 tons of AI-92 gasoline (comparable to regular unleaded in the U.S.) to ease a domestic shortage, Reuters reported, citing industry sources.

A Reuters source in Kazakhstan said the country could send its current gasoline surplus to Russia in exchange for jet fuel.
