Details: The occupation authorities of Crimea stated that fuel sales at petrol stations have been reduced from 30 to 20 litres per vehicle or container.

"In this situation, I want to say that tensions will remain for some time. Information about when stable fuel supplies will arrive in Crimea… will be announced on Friday [3 October – ed.]," Aksyonov said.

He also noted that the fuel restrictions introduced earlier had proved insufficient.

Background: Mikhail Razvozhayev, Kremlin-appointed "governor" of Sevastopol, announced that effective 29 September, residents may buy no more than 30 litres of fuel per vehicle or container at petrol stations. The restriction affects petrol grades Ai-92, Ai-95, Ai-95NP and Ai-100.
