Crimea Faces Deepening Transport Crisis: Fuel Shortages and Canceled ... According toГлавком: A severe transportation crisis is escalating in Russian-occupied Crimea, leading to widespread fuel shortages, canceled bus routes, halted electric public transit, and restricted ferry services. The price of AI-95 gasoline on the peninsula has surged to between 76 and 81 rubles, severely impacting the region's transport infrastructure. Compounding the hardship for residents during cold weather, many buses lack functioning heating systems. This situation is a direct consequence of the ongoing war and the strain it has placed on logistics and infrastructure in the region. School bus services are being canceled en masse across Crimea, significantly hindering children's access to education. Electric transport, including trolleybuses, has stopped running due to power cuts, further reducing public mobility. Additionally, ferry and boat services in cities like Sevastopol, Kerch, Yalta, and Yevpatoria have become irregular, hampered by damaged infrastructure and adverse weather conditions. In a related development, Ukrainian authorities in Kyiv have detained a woman who served as the head of a …

Small Share of Sevastopol Gas Stations Resume Unrestricted Sales
Small Share of Sevastopol Gas Stations Resume Unrestricted Sales June 12, 2026 Yandex Maps Nine out of more than 100 gas stations belonging to a single major retailer have resumed sales in annexed Crimea’s biggest city of Sevastopol as restrictions remained across other networks, authorities said Friday. Mikhail Razvozhayev, the Kremlin-installed governor of Sevastopol, announced that nine ATAN stations in and around the southern port city would begin “unrestricted” sales of AI-92, AI-95, A-100 and Diesel Ultra fuel grades starting 10 a.m. local time. ATAN’s rival TES, which also operates more than 100 stations across Crimea, will only sell gasoline via special QR codes issued through the state-backed messaging app Max, he warned. Crimea, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014, has suffered from gasoline shortages in the weeks since Ukraine stepped up its mid-range drone attacks against military trucks and fuel tankers that supply the peninsula from the north. Gasoline shortages have also been reported at filling stations in at least 25 Russian regions. The Kremlin blamed the shortage on “unjustified panic-buying.” Earlier this week, however, Russia’s Energy Ministry acknowledg…

Russian Official Says Crimea Gas Crisis 'Temporary' as ... - KyivPost Ukrainian drone strikes on fuel supply routes to occupied Crimea have disrupted deliveries, causing widespread fuel shortages, long queues, rationing, and travel delays. Russian officials call the situation temporary, but attacks on rail, storage, and ferry infrastructure continue to strain supplies. Ukrainian drone strikes targeting supply routes to the Black Sea region of Crimea have shut down fueling stations across the peninsula and left local motorists and tourists in auto queues up to a kilometer long. But the inconveniences are “temporary” and authorities have the situation under control, a senior official in the Russian-occupied territory said. Mikhail Razvozhaev, the Moscow-appointed governor of the Crimean port city of Sevastopol, on Tuesday morning via state-controlled media announced that no AN-92 and AN-95 gasoline would be on sale at all, except to ration ticket holders, but that critical fuel shortages soon would be resolved and motorists need not worry.

Fuel Crisis on Occupied Peninsula is Deepening
Fuel Crisis on Occupied Peninsula is Deepening As of September 24, the gasoline crisis reached its peak in both the AR of Crimea and Sevastopol. The shortages of “AI-92” and “AI-95” gasoline are widespread. Residents have created social media groups to search for and purchase gasoline, including at speculative prices, as well as to buy fuel coupons: many gas stations are using coupons exclusively or prioritizing them. Even the “official price” for “AI-95” at some stations is listed at 83 rubles or more, while on the online “black market,” canned gasoline is being offered for 100 rubles per liter or more. At gas stations where gasoline is available, or where it is expected to be available, significant queues of people waiting to fill up are forming. “Premium” gasoline brands are more commonly available, but as some write on social media, “the only question is how to tell what kind of gasoline is actually being sold under the guise of the most expensive.” The occupiers’ “glossy” propaganda about fuel shortages primarily broadcasts “official statements.” The illegal “head of the council of ministers” Yuriy Gotsanyuk stated that fuel supplies to Crimea had been reduced due to a “tempo…

Gas stations in the Kuban region have begun to close due to a fuel shortage News World Gas stations in the Kuban region have begun to close due to a fuel shortage UA NEWS 10 June 2026 18:29 In the Krasnodar Krai of the Russian Federation, fuel sales have been temporarily suspended at 15 gas stations due to a fuel shortage. The restrictions affect Krasnodar as well as several districts in the region. Small private operators, who purchase fuel in small batches, faced the most significant challenges. Meanwhile, in the Temryuk District, which borders occupied Crimea, long lines of dozens of cars have formed at some gas stations. Despite this, fuel is still being sold there without restrictions. Local authorities attribute the situation to increased demand, supply disruptions, and reduced production at certain oil refineries due to unscheduled maintenance. An additional factor cited is the overload of the railway infrastructure, which complicates the delivery of fuel to the region. This is reported by Russian media.

(Natalia Kolesnikova / AFP via Getty Images) Restrictions on gasoline sales in Russia have expanded to the Tyumen and Sverdlovsk oblasts, Russian pro-government media outlets reported on Oct. 7. This marks the third and fourth regions to impose limits following similar measures in occupied Crimea and the Chelyabinsk Oblast. The move comes as Ukraine's continued drone strikes on Russian oil refineries strain domestic fuel supplies. The N-1 gas station chain introduced a 30-liter cap per customer for 92- and 95-octane gasoline in Tyumen Oblast, the company told pro-government outlet Ura.ru. While N-1 denied fuel shortages , it said the restrictions were meant to prevent "stockpiling" by customers buying fuel in canisters. Tatneft's TPK stations also began selling AI-95 gasoline only to customers with fuel cards. In neighboring Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russian pro-gove…

Add NBC News to Google Russian-occupied Crimea suffers fuel shortages after Ukrainian attacks 01:15 Get more news Live on Share Add NBC News to Google June 12, 2026, 5:00 AM EDT By Yuliya Talmazan A new Ukrainian campaign is turning Vladimir Putin ’s main supply line into a road of ruin. Subscribe to read this story ad-free Get unlimited access to ad-free articles and exclusive content. The key highway linking southern Russia , occupied Crimea and other Ukrainian territories under the Kremlin’s control is at the center of a major drone offensive by Kyiv that is laying waste to Russian logistics and causing fuel stations to run dry. The 390-mile stretch, known as R-280 or “Novorossiya” (“New Russia”), is a crucial route for supplying Russian forces on the southern battlefields — as well as keeping the occupied territories supplied with fuel and food. But in recent weeks, the route has been snarled by Ukrainian attacks on vehicles carrying critical supplies, triggering a growing crisis on the tourism-dependent peninsula. Cars line up for fuel at a gas station in Saki, Crimea, earlier this month. Alexey Pavli…

Crimea suspends all fuel sales as Ukraine strikes hit oil depots Fuel sales to the general public have been suspended across Russia-annexed Crimea, the Moscow-backed regional governor said Sunday, as Ukraine intensified strikes on Russian military and energy infrastructure tied to the peninsula.

Russian Supply Lines to Crimea Under Pressure | Eastern Express
Russian Supply Lines to Crimea Under Pressure | Eastern Express Russian-occupied Crimea is facing growing pressure as reports point to shortages of basic goods, fuel restrictions, and mounting disruption to supply routes. Ukraine has ramped up strikes on the logistics network that connects Crimea to Russia’s war machine, including roads, bridges, ports, and fuel infrastructure across the occupied south. The so-called land corridor to Crimea was meant to make Russia’s occupation more secure, but it is increasingly becoming a vulnerable lifeline. Follow our coverage of the war on the@Kyivpost_official. In this episode of Eastern Express, host Benjamin Lee looks at why logistics matter, how Ukraine is changing the operational equation, and why Crimea’s symbolic importance makes these shortages politically dangerous for Moscow. The Kremlin wanted Crimea to stand as proof of permanent conquest – instead, it is becoming a test of whether Russia can still sustain the occupation it built.

Russian-Held Sevastopol Suspends Fuel Distribution as Ukraine Strikes ... What to know:Sevastopol authorities in Russian-occupied Crimea temporarily suspended petrol rationing coupon use after supply trucks were unable to deliver fuel, following reported Ukrainian strikes on logistics routes. Officials said priority refuelling would go to emergency and public services, while new coupons would be issued. The disruption comes amid broader fuel shortages across Crimea and intensified Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian energy and transport infrastructure. The governor of Sevastopol in Russian-held Crimea said on Wednesday that plans for distributing rationed petrol had been delayed because trucks had been unable to bring the fuel into the city, following recent Ukraine strikes on supply routes. Mikhail Razvozhayev’s announcement that petrol rationing coupons temporarily could not be honoured coincided with remarks by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy that Kyiv’s long-running campaign targeting energy assets in Russia and the lands it annexed had proved its worth.
