Crimea halts civilian gas sales amid escalating Ukrainian attacks on fuel supplies

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Officials in Russian-occupied Crimea have suspended civilian gasoline sales due to escalating Ukrainian attacks on the region's fuel infrastructure. Governor Sergey Aksyonov announced that fuel would only be available to government agencies, following Ukrainian strikes that targeted oil depots and transport facilities in Crimea and Russia's Krasnodar region. This action exacerbates the energy crisis in Crimea, which has experienced periodic fuel shortages since its 2014 annexation by Russia, with some speculators reportedly selling fuel at double the market price.
