In occupied Sevastopol, restrictions on the sale of motor fuel will be reintroduced from 11 August. Gasoline and diesel fuel will be sold using QR codes.
This was announced by the Russia-appointed head of Sevastopol, Mikhail Razvozhayev, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Crimea.Realities project reports.
According to him, the QR code system will begin operating from 11 August and will remain in effect until fuel stocks allow a return to free sales.
The restrictions will apply to AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline and to diesel fuel. Premium fuel brands will not be subject to the system.
Razvozhayev also said that the Atan gas station network allegedly is not honoring an agreement to lower the price of AI-92 gasoline. He said that at some stations this type of fuel is either not sold at all or is being offered at inflated prices.
Earlier, the Russia-appointed head of the government of occupied Crimea, Yuriy Hotsaniuk, reported plans to temporarily limit the volumes of free fuel sales at gas stations in the TES and Atan networks.
He said the decision is “forced” and is related to changes in logistical routes and increased security measures.
Against the backdrop of a fuel shortage in occupied Crimea since early June, problems with fuel sales have been recorded. At the same time, military and energy facilities, as well as the peninsula’s logistical infrastructure, have been regularly struck.
Earlier, former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that strikes on Russian infrastructure aim to isolate Crimea using unmanned aerial vehicles.
