In Crimea, ambulances have been reduced due to fuel shortages. Now, medics respond only to critical calls, and residents are advised to get to hospitals on their own.
The National Resistance Center reported on the situation on the peninsula.
Emergency medical teams have reduced their visits to the peninsula due to a lack of fuel. Hospitals have been instructed to save fuel, and the number of ambulance calls has been drastically reduced.
Now, medics can only respond to the most critical calls - in cases of life-threatening illnesses. In most situations, people are advised to get to hospitals on their own, even if their condition requires urgent care.
According to the Civil Defense Center, the occupation administration continues to supply fuel to the military and law enforcement agencies in full, while the civilian sphere has been left without resources. This once again demonstrates that the occupiers put the needs of the army above the needs of civilians, neglecting the health and safety of people.
In addition, public transportation has been drastically reduced due to an acute shortage of fuel. Routes have become less frequent, the number of trips has decreased, and passengers are forced to stand in long lines to get to work or the store. The occupation authorities explain the situation by saving resources and prioritize refueling military units, administration and social services, while there have been no official reports of traffic restrictions.
According to the Center for National Resistance, the fuel shortage on the peninsula is estimated at about 56% of the actual need. For civilians, this means not only inconvenience but also increased risks due to delays and crowds at bus stops.
At the same time, the military infrastructure of the occupiers continues to be attacked by Ukrainian forces, and fuel shortages have already begun to be felt even in army units, warned Dmytro Pletenchuk, a spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy. Thus, the combination of a lack of resources and attacks on military facilities creates additional problems for the occupiers, while ordinary residents of the peninsula suffer from limited traffic.
