In Sevastopol, a limit of no more than 30 liters of gasoline per car or canister has been imposed on September 29 at TPP gas stations due to high demand, while diesel is sold without restrictions.

This was reported by Krym.Realii.

The restriction on the sale of gasoline in Sevastopol, imposed on the filling stations of the TPP network, applies to the brands A-100, A-95NP, A-95 and A-92.

Representatives of the network explained that the 30-liter limit per car or canister was introduced due to the need to accumulate fuel at all gas stations and return to the regular work schedule.

Mikhail Razvozhaev , the mayor of the city, confirmed that gasoline is being supplied to the city non-stop, but due to the high demand among the population, it has not yet been possible to resume the planned operation of gas stations. He noted that customers can choose whether to refuel their cars or fill a canister.

The Crimean fuel collapse is getting worse. According to local activists, the situation has been worsening over the past 10 days and has reached its climax: for example, on September 24, gasoline completely disappeared from gas stations.

Many gas stations are closing to avoid paying salaries to their employees. The gasoline shortage has hit both ordinary Crimeans and private businesses hard, which are suffering huge losses due to the inability to carry out transportation. There are fewer cars on the roads, and minibuses are overcrowded. Local residents openly express their dissatisfaction with the actions of the Russian authorities.

Due to the lack of fuel , the problems are growing rapidly. Taxis have to wait much longer, and the number of orders for recharging batteries from Crimean motorists has increased many times over as cars are idle without fuel. The sowing campaign, which is critically dependent on a stable supply of fuel, is also under threat.
