There is no AI-95 at Crimean gas stations. At those gas stations where fuel is still available, it is sold only with coupons of enterprises and organizations, and access for ordinary drivers is limited.

This was reported by Krym.Realii.

Activists of 'Yellow Ribbon' commented that the situation is difficult, but knowing the reason, the entire pro-Ukrainian part of the population is happy. They note that the Russian occupiers have more and more problems ahead: the latest drone attack on Russian oil depots lasted 90 hours without a break.

The price of A-95 gasoline has increased significantly, reaching <b>69.95 rubles per liter</b> at some gas stations. The occupation authorities of the peninsula warned the population about possible interruptions in fuel delivery, explaining this by problems with the operation of the Kerch ferry, whose schedule is constantly changing.

The Russian special service has started checking the Crimean authorities . the FSB from Moscow has started checking the activities of Sergey Aksyonov. The occupying head of the peninsula is suspected of large-scale corruption and abuse of power. The presence of Moscow security forces in the building of the so-called government of Crimea was reported by a local human rights activist who wished to remain anonymous. According to him, the visit of the FSB caused panic among officials, some of whom even felt sick after talking to Aksyonov.

The inspectors are paying special attention not only to the Crimean council, but also to the leadership of Yevpatoria, where serious problems are expected. Recently, according to Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, the head of the occupation administration of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, announced at a closed meeting that he had reached preliminary agreements with Chinese business on the construction of several facilities.
