Gasoline shortage in Russia reaches Siberia and the Far East - media
Kyiv • UNN
A shortage of gasoline and diesel has emerged in several regions of the Russian Federation due to refinery repairs following drone attacks. Gas stations are introducing limits, and massive queues are forming.
Residents of the Khabarovsk Krai of the Russian Federation are complaining about disruptions in fuel supplies to local gas stations. This is reported by UNN with reference to Russian media.
Details
It is noted that, according to residents, mainly AI-92 gasoline is available, and they have to stand in lines for it.
"A fuel truck arrived at one of the gas stations, and the gasoline was gone in 20 minutes,"
Regional authorities stated that the "issue is already being resolved," and cited the shortage of sales on the Saint Petersburg exchange and repair work at the Kuibyshev refinery, which halted operations after a drone attack on June 10, as the reasons for the fuel problems.
It is indicated that restrictions on the sale of gasoline also arose in Buryatia — there, some gas stations banned pouring fuel into canisters and introduced a limit of 100 liters of gasoline per car. The Ministry of Transport of the republic reported that this is due to "seasonal demand."
"In the Kursk region, diesel fuel has disappeared at filling stations, and at the 'MotoGaz' gas station in Lgov, all gasoline has run out. ... In the Krasnodar Krai, gasoline shortages are recorded in Krasnodar, Anapa, and Tuapse, as well as in Novorossiysk, where motorists stand in huge lines hoping for fuel deliveries to gas stations," Russian media summarize.
