Enemy expert: Russia's dependence on gasoline from India and Belarus is greatly exaggerated
The expected shutdown of the Belarusian Naftan oil refinery will not cause any particular difficulties for Russia.
Sergei Vakulenko, an expert at the Carnegie Berlin Center (an organization considered undesirable in the Russian Federation), stated this in an interview with a foreign agent, former editor-in-chief of the liberal radio station Ekho Moskvy, Alexei Venediktov, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
"Brotherly Belarus supports Russia with gasoline to some extent. But its refining capacity isn't large enough to support Russia. But it does support Russia somewhat. It supplies a daily or daily-and-a-half-day's worth of consumption per month, a few percent , but it does," Vakulenko said.
During the first wave of the gasoline crisis in Russia, two Belarusian refineries supplied the market with 200 tons of gasoline per month.
On average, gasoline consumption in Russia is approximately 100 thousand tons per day.
As for the gasoline supplies from India, according to Vakulenko, “ you can’t see them with a microscope; only one tanker arrived .”
