Prices have nearly doubled in a month.
The price of Belarusian gasoline supplied to Russia has risen significantly. Over the past week, the price of AI-92 gasoline has increased by about 6% and reached 127,000 Russian rubles per metric ton. Compared to early May, the price has nearly tripled, according to Kommersant.
Sales volumes have also increased. At the June 29 auction, Belarusian oil refineries sold about 6,500 metric tons of AI-92 gasoline, which is more than previously. Additionally, 240 metric tons of AI-100 gasoline were sold.
In June 2026, more than 79,000 metric tons of Belarusian gasoline were sold through the exchange. By comparison, such shipments were significantly lower a year ago.
The increase in demand is due to fuel shortages in certain regions of Russia. In addition, Belarusian suppliers fulfill contracts more reliably: fuel is shipped to buyers within 30 days without delays. In Russia, however, delivery times can stretch to 60 days, and actual shipments often take place only 35 days after a deal is concluded.
Russian experts note that Belarusian oil refineries are currently operating under market conditions without strict government price regulation. Therefore, their prices are considered one of the most objective indicators of the actual situation on the wholesale gasoline market.
At the same time, Belarus’s capabilities are limited. The two Belarusian refineries could theoretically supply fuel to the Moscow region, but their production capacity is insufficient to significantly influence the situation across all of Russia.
On the Russian exchange, price increases are currently being held in check by administrative measures. At the June 30 auction, the price of AI-92 gasoline rose by only 0.12%, while AI-95 rose by 0.01%.
Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov stated that the authorities are ready to import petroleum products if it is economically viable. According to him, issues related to stabilizing the fuel market are reviewed on a daily basis.
Experts believe that finding large volumes of gasoline for rapid delivery to Russia is not easy. Sanctions create additional difficulties, complicating financial transactions and logistics. Belarus, Azerbaijan, Central Asian countries, India, and Turkey are cited as potential suppliers.
At the same time, analysts predict that domestic oil prices in Russia may fall due to the drop in global prices and a reduction in export profits. If this happens, wholesale fuel prices may also gradually decline.
