There is a shortage of automobile fuel in the occupied Crimea. Car owners have already been warned and are advised to stock up.
TES gas station chains in Simferopol and Alushta sent SMS messages to some regular customers, Radio Liberty reports. The reports said that a shortage was possible as early as this week, on August 14-20.
At the same time, drivers have already encountered difficulties. For example, at some gas stations it was no longer possible to fill up with A-95 gasoline, so drivers had to buy A-93 fuel. In addition, fuel prices are rising.
For example, at the Atan gas station in Kerch, the price of A-95 gasoline exceeded 60 rubles (60.39 rubles), and the price of diesel fuel rose to 63.39 rubles. At the Vars gas station, 95 costs 58.7 rubles, and diesel costs 58.7 rubles.
The constant rise in fuel prices in Crimea continued throughout the summer, despite the fact that the Russian “authorities” in Crimea claimed that they were looking for ways to contain gasoline prices at Crimean gas stations. For example, on August 10, the Russian-controlled “Deputy Prime Minister” of Crimea, Yuriy Gotzanyuk, claimed that the situation with fuel on the Crimean peninsula was “stable.” He also promised that “the supply of fuels and lubricants, diesel, AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline” to Crimea would be increased.
As a reminder, a “special offer” for tourists has appeared on Crimean beaches: a paid opportunity to hide in the shade. For example, to lie on a sunbed costs 300 rubles (112 UAH), to simply go into the shade and sit on the sand costs 150 rubles (57 g) rn).
