“It will take a few days until the additional shipments arrive. But an additional 25,000 tonnes of AI-92 in August is a sufficient amount. Rationing will become unnecessary,” the minister said, in remarks carried by Mongolian outlets on Tuesday morning from his own account of the talks. No prices or delivery terms were disclosed, and no confirmation from the Russian side had appeared in the business wires read by Tuesday morning.
The promise lands on a rationed market. Dispensing has been capped at ₮50,000 (about $14) per vehicle, a cap whose rise to ₮100,000 was discussed and never adopted, and the regime runs to 15 August. Rail deliveries brought 15,158 tonnes in the month’s first week; the August import schedule stands separately at 270,910 tonnes.

Jet fuel is moving on a second track. Some 1,000 tonnes of Chinese aviation fuel was unloaded at the Zamyn-Uud border depot on Monday with 2,000 tonnes more en route, by the fuel headquarters’ account, six days before COP17 opens in Ulaanbaatar.
Moscow is the first stop of a stated route: Kazakhstan next, then Beijing, on the minister’s ninth such trip in a year. The standing request to PetroChina for 12,000 to 15,000 tonnes a month remains open.
The claim that rationing becomes unnecessary is now a dated, checkable promise. The cap regime lapses on 15 August, the same Saturday the capital’s odd and even plates start taking turns.
