Following Crimea's lead, the occupied Luhansk region has restricted gasoline sales
In the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast, the invaders have imposed strict restrictions on the sale of automotive fuel to the civilian population.
The Kremlin-controlled occupation administration of the so-called “LPR” has officially allowed local gas stations to sell no more than 20 liters of gasoline per person.
Representatives of the occupying “LPR government” attempted to reassure the local population, citing a sharp increase in demand among drivers as the reason for this measure.
In addition, the collaborators acknowledged serious problems with logistics and the supply of fuel and lubricants from the territory of the Russian Federation.
Local authorities claim that the restrictions are temporary and will remain in effect until fuel supplies stabilize.
