— From May 31, AI-95 gasoline will be sold primarily to municipal and public means of transport, as well as on the basis of vouchers, without quantitative limits. At the same time, Pb95 gasoline will be sold at the network's gas stations only using coupons, said the Russian governor of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov.
According to the head of the administration, the biggest problems concern Pb92 gasoline, which is still very popular in Russia, Ukraine and other countries created after the collapse of the USSR. A sales limit of 20 liters per vehicle was introduced, and sales into canisters were suspended.
Crimea has fuel problems. The Russian administration responds
According to Sergei Aksionov, the situation should normalize within 30 days. The Russian-appointed governor of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozaev, also reported on problems with gasoline, according to whom on May 31, stations of one of the chains sold their entire daily fuel quota within a few hours.
— In Sevastopol, Pb92 and Pb95 gasoline will be sold only on vouchers. This is a temporary measure necessary to replenish fuel stocks at stations, he announced.
Mikhail Razvozaev, quoted by Radio Free Europe, explained that the problems result from the need to strengthen security measures and optimize logistic routes used for fuel deliveries.
Ukrainians attacked logistic routes to Crimea
Earlier, the Ukrainian military carried out several attacks on the oil terminal in Feodosia, as well as on the ferry crossing facilities in Kerch. Ukrainian drones also effectively attack logistic routes leading to Crimea from the Donetsk, Kherson and Zaporozhye oblasts. According to the Ukrainian army, 524 units of Russian road transport and tankers were destroyed on May 30 alone.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that Ukrainian strikes against Russian military and fuel targets along the coast of the Sea of Azov led to the fuel crisis in Crimea.
— I would like to thank all our soldiers who provide the ability to hit such Russian targets, primarily military and fuel logistics, in the temporarily occupied areas along the coast of our Sea of Azov. Our drones are already reaching deeper and deeper into the temporarily occupied territories, and this is already reflected in the shortages in Crimea, he emphasized.
