"Russia Implements 6-Month Ban on Gasoline Exports"

Russia will ban gasoline exports for six months starting March 1 to address rising domestic demand, particularly due to summer vacation travel, spring fieldwork, and planned refinery repairs. The ban aims to stabilize domestic prices and follows previous restrictions imposed between September and November. Exemptions include members of the Eurasian Economic Union, as well as Uzbekistan, Mongolia, and Georgia’s separatist regions. This move comes after Russia increased gasoline exports to new buyers following bans by the US, EU, and G7 countries over the Ukraine invasion.

Eurasian Leaders Discuss Economic Integration and Nuclear Weapons

Kazakhstan's President Tokayev criticized the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) and warned against political integration between its members, cautioning that the union should be seen as an exclusively economic bloc. He also highlighted that economic integration within the EAEU is taking place in contradiction to the bloc's founding agreements and goals. Kazakhstan has grown increasingly wary of the Kremlin's geopolitical ambitions in the former Soviet space following its military offensive against Ukraine and has moved closer toward countries like the United States, China, and NATO member Turkey.
