Transportation collapse in Crimea: fuel was given to the army and officials

In Crimea, due to the lack of fuel, public transportation has been reduced, causing residents to face long lines and less frequent routes. The occupiers emphasized that the army, administration and social services have priority in providing fuel.

This was reported by the National Resistance Center.

In Crimea, public transportation is being reduced due to a lack of fuel, according to the Center of National Resistance (CNR), created by the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces.

According to the CNR, public transportation routes are being reduced in the occupied Crimea due to fuel shortages. The deficit is estimated at 56% of the need. Priority is given to the army and the administration, so residents face restrictions: long queues, less frequent routes and fewer trips. At the same time, the occupation authorities have not officially announced any restrictions on traffic.

On October 1, new restrictions on gasoline sales were announced in Crimea: instead of 30 liters, only 20 liters are allowed per person at gas stations. At the same time, he assured that public transportation, social institutions, and emergency services would be provided with fuel in full.

The shortage of gasoline has hit both Crimean residents and private entrepreneurs hard, who are unable to carry out transportation due to the lack of fuel and suffer large losses. There are fewer cars on the roads, buses are overcrowded, and locals openly criticize the actions of the Russian authorities.

Annexed in 2014, the peninsula is experiencing the worst fuel crisis in recent years. Rashists admitted that the shortage is due to a decrease in oil refining in Russia, partly due to regular attacks by Ukrainian drones on Russian refineries.

The occupiers' military targets in Crimea continue to be attacked by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and the situation is complicated by another serious problem - the lack of fuel. Ukrainian Navy spokesman Dmytro Pletenchuk noted that the shortage is already noticeable on the peninsula and will sooner or later affect the army.
