According to the publication, problems have been recorded in Moscow, Tver, Kolomna, Saransk, and Ivanovo. At some gas stations in the Russian capital, customers are allowed to fill no more than 30-60 liters of fuel at a time, and some stations have temporarily ceased operations.
In Moscow, a sharp rise in prices is also reported. According to Russian media, the cost of AI-95 gasoline at some gas stations has reached 95 rubles per liter, although it was previously about 71-73 rubles.
Queues at gas stations have affected the operation of public transport
Fuel problems have already impacted the work of passenger carriers. In Ivanovo, about 10% of buses did not take to the routes due to a shortage of diesel fuel and long queues at gas stations.
Drivers had to stand in lines for fuel, like all other motorists
In the Tver region, local authorities confirmed temporary restrictions on the sale of gasoline to individuals at some gas stations.
According to ASTRA, fuel problems arise amid regular strikes by Ukrainian drones on Russian oil refining infrastructure.
