In the Novosibirsk Region of the Russian Federation, some gas stations have stopped selling gasoline
In Russia’s Novosibirsk Region, some gas stations have temporarily suspended the sale of gasoline to individual consumers. Regional authorities attribute this to the tense situation on the fuel market and the need to ensure the fulfillment of long-term contracts.
Denis Ryaguzov, the region’s acting minister of industry and trade, reported that some gas stations are currently serving only municipal and government orders. At the same time, Governor Andriy Travnikov has instructed officials to manually assist small gas station chains in resuming fuel supplies.
As early as June 23, regional authorities had imposed restrictions on fuel sales. Gas stations were advised to sell no more than 40 liters of gasoline per vehicle, and limits were also set on diesel fuel and the sale of fuel in canisters.
However, just one day earlier, officials had assured the public that there was no fuel shortage in the region, even though the “Gazpromneft” chain had already independently imposed restrictions at its gas stations.
