There is a shortage of AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline in Sevastopol

Gas stations in Russian-occupied Sevastopol have run out of AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline. 

This was reported by the city’s so-called “governor,” Mikhail Razvozhayev, on his Telegram page.

Problems with fuel at the largest gas station chains in Crimea were reported a week ago. According to Razvozhayev, new deliveries are expected later today.

Problems with fuel availability at the peninsula’s two largest gas station chains were reported a week ago. Judging by Razvozhayev’s statement, the situation has worsened even further at this point.

As a reminder, a week ago in Sevastopol, gasoline sales were restricted due to supply disruptions. The region saw a shortage of various fuel grades at gas stations belonging to certain chains; in some cases, fuel was dispensed via ration cards.

To prevent artificial panic buying, Russian authorities decided to temporarily limit fuel sales at gas stations—a limit of 20 liters was introduced.

It is worth noting that last year, limits on fuel sales were also introduced in Crimea to stabilize the fuel supply situation. After the situation partially stabilized, the restrictions were lifted.

Fuel crisis in Russia – other news

Reports of a gasoline shortage in Russia emerged as early as the first half of the month.

Experts cited unscheduled repairs at major refineries and a reduction in petroleum product production as the causes of the shortage. In this situation, oil companies began redirecting resources to supply their own distribution networks.

Ukrainian attacks also played a role. As a reminder, in recent months, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have intensified attacks on Russian oil refineries. According to the General Staff, the Syzran refinery ceased operations following an attack on May 21.
