Explaining Why Mongolia Need to Secure an Aviation Fuel From Russia

Despite its best intentions, the Mongolian public and legislatures view the deal pre-mature, and the timing of the agreement may not best suit Mongolia’s national interest at the moment.  Also, the time frame—for 20 years—raised some eyebrows from the Mongolian public but also unsettled chary officials and foreign policy pundits.
