the state railroad reported yesterday. Earlier this week, UZ warned that it would run out of diesel on Friday. After diesel prices increased this year, suppliers did not want to fulfill long term contracts, Infrastructure Minister Vladyslav Krykliy said Tuesday on the Mokrik Live TV show. He also said that February’s seizure of a diesel pipeline from pro-Russian politician Viktor Medvedchuk affected diesel supply in the country. In February, the price of diesel rose by 12%. Today, it is about $1 a liter.
