BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 8. Kazakhstan's KazTransOil national company transited 37,900 tons of Russian oil to Uzbekistan in the second quarter of this year, KazTransOil told TurkicWorld.

This transit operation marks a significant increase compared to the first quarter when only 10,700 tons of Russian oil were transited through the territory of Kazakhstan. The transportation of oil aligns with the delivery schedule approved by the Ministry of Energy of Kazakhstan.
