Bishkek, July 21, 2026. /Kabar/. Kyrgyzstan is strengthening cooperation with several countries on fuel imports. Currently, work is underway on importing fuel based on the agreement concluded with Belarus, and the issue of transit through Russia has been resolved. Energy Minister Altynbek Rysbekov told media representatives.
According to the minister, negotiations with the Belarusian side have been clearly established, and several wagons carrying fuel have set off.
