Kyrgyzstan, which imports more than 90% of its gasoline from Russia, has asked Russia and several neighboring countries for help securing fuel supplies. Authorities say domestic stocks remain sufficient for now, but warn the Russian fuel crisis could soon be felt in the Central Asian nation. The shortfall in Russia has been aggravated by Ukrainian drone strikes on refineries, including damage that has taken Moscow’s Kapotnya refinery offline, according to Reuters. Russia has also begun importing fuel from India to ease the crunch.
