- From June 1 to 25, Russia imported 141,000 tons of gasoline from Belarus via CPI.
- According to the analysis, this period saw a 2.4–2.5 times increase in the amount of gasoline transported; in June 2025 it will be 1,000 tons.
- According to the data, the Russian gasoline supply pipeline has been operating at full capacity; the German prognosis is that the annual volume of gasoline imports could reach 1.0 million tons.

In June 2026, Russia’s imports of gasoline from Belarus reached a record level. According to data from the Center for Economic Forecasting (CPI), as reported by the materials of Current Time and Meduza, from June 1 to 25 Russia imported 141,000 tons of gasoline from Belarus.
According to the calculations, the amount of gasoline imports during this period increased by 2.4–2.5 times compared with the previous year. For comparison, in June 2025 the imports were slightly under 1,000 tons.
Based on CPI data, Belarusian gasoline supplies to Russia, which had previously been only a small part of the total, have been increasing rapidly. According to the materials, the reason is that the Russian pipeline is being used to transport Belarusian fuel through Russian territory, with the volumes increasing from 196,000 tons per year to 24,000 tons in June.
Meduza also offers an alternative explanation, noting that the increase in Belarusian gasoline imports may be linked to Russian domestic demand, but not necessarily to a rise in the amount of gasoline exported by Belarus. In the materials, Reuters, which Meduza cites, says that it is possible that Russia will import at least 110,000 tons of gasoline per day.
In the materials, it is noted that gasoline exports are carried out through Ukrainian pipelines. Commenting on this, Current Time’s correspondent asked the Russian regulator, asking whether the “export of fuel” could be carried out through the “pipeline to Europe,” to which the regulator said it would be possible to “increase the volume by 1.0 million tons.” In addition, the regulator said that the “pipeline to Europe” would be used for the shipment of fuel through the “pipeline to Europe” and that the “export of fuel” could be carried out through the “pipeline to Europe.”
