Belarus further increased supplies of gasoline and diesel fuel to Russia

In May 2026, Belarus increased railway supplies of petroleum products to the Russian market amid a fuel shortage in Russia, caused by seasonal demand growth and a decrease in production following drone attacks on several Russian oil refineries, reports The Moscow Times.

According to industry sources, supplies of automobile gasoline from Belarusian refineries to Russia increased by 11% in May compared to April, amounting to about 57 thousand tons. Shipments of diesel fuel increased by 23% — to almost 50 thousand tons. Additionally, over 5 thousand tons of aviation kerosene were supplied to Russia.

From January to May 2026, gasoline supplies from Belarus to Russia increased almost 13-fold compared to the same period last year, exceeding 270 thousand tons. Diesel fuel exports tripled — to 179 thousand tons.

Part of these products is produced from Russian toll crude oil, which is processed at the Naftan (Novopolotsk) and Mozyr refineries. The resulting products are supplied both to the Russian market and for export.

At the same time, Belarus increased transit supplies of petroleum products through Russian ports. In May, approximately 165 thousand tons of gasoline were shipped via Murmansk and Astrakhan for export to third countries. In total, during the first five months of the year, the volume of transit supplies of Belarusian petroleum products through Russian ports increased by 2.5 times and reached approximately 1.53 million tons.

Experts link the increase in supplies to the need to partially compensate for the losses of Russian oil refining after a series of Ukrainian strikes on refinery infrastructure.
