According to the report, Russia's fuel crisis has also affected the Kremlin-occupied territories of Ukraine. In the captured part of Luhansk Oblast, all AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline has disappeared from gas stations. The occupation administration claims that the lack of gasoline is due to supply disruptions and "increased consumer demand for fuel observed over the past two weeks." Propagandists confirm that for two weeks, there was a shortage of gasoline at local gas stations: you couldn't fill up everywhere, and not always. It is reported that fuel was often sold only to "legal entities" with coupons. "The locals say that somewhere you can still find 95th grade, but they sell no more than 20 liters per customer.
The report also said that the Internet is flooded with photos and videos showing huge queues at gas stations where there is still fuel. At other gas stations, there is no gasoline at all. Propagandists add that fuel shortages are also observed in the occupied part of the Donetsk region. The lack of fuel at gas stations began to be observed after another series of successful attacks by Ukraine on Russian oil refineries. Russians complain about kilometer-long queues at gas stations, empty pumps, and record prices. In August, Ukraine struck at least ten blows at Russian oil refineries.
The report added that the price of A-95 gasoline on the wholesale market has reached a record 82,300 rubles per ton. This is almost 54% more than at the beginning of the year. As The Guardian notes, Russia continues to export oil to China and India, but its oil refining industry is unprepared for massive attacks. Analysts admit that Russia has no real fuel reserves for the domestic market, and each new blow from Ukraine intensifies the crisis. The situation is particularly dire in Crimea. Shutdown airports have forced tourists to drive, further exacerbating fuel shortages. Kremlin officials are calling for "understanding," but even they acknowledge that the restrictions could last for months.
