Rationing of cooking oil and pasta has been introduced in occupied Sevastopol

In annexed Crimea and Sevastopol, sales of certain food items have begun to be restricted amid serious logistical challenges. Specifically, local supermarkets are limiting customers to no more than three bottles of vegetable oil and three packages of pasta per person. 

Restrictions on basic foodstuffs followed a massive fuel shortage on the peninsula, where cash sales of gasoline had previously been completely halted and a system of ration cards and QR codes was introduced, limiting purchases to 20 liters per vehicle. 

The main cause of the supply crisis on the peninsula was the effective disruption of traffic and regular strikes by Ukrainian drones on freight transport on the federal highway R-280 “Novorossiya,” which is the key overland route for delivering fuel and goods from the Rostov region. At the same time, the fuel crisis rapidly spread to other regions of the Russian Federation: in Tatarstan, cheaper diesel fuel disappeared from gas stations, resulting in hours-long lines of dozens of heavy-duty trucks at gas stations. Strict limits on fuel dispensing (up to 50 liters) and a ban on filling jerry cans were also reported in St. Petersburg, Leningrad, Belgorod, and Kursk regions, where gas stations have partially switched to serving customers exclusively with special cards.
