Fuel caps spread in Russia TSN reports regional limits

Jun 23–24

TSN, citing Current Time, reports fuel-sale restrictions in four more Russian regions. Some stations in the oil-producing Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug have imposed limits; Bryansk and Kursk ban filling containers, while Kurgan also caps petrol at 40 liters and diesel at 80 liters. According to the report's Russian-media estimates, more than a dozen regions and occupied Crimea had restrictions as of the previous day. It describes long queues and Moscow allowing fuel tankers into the city without permits around the clock to prevent shortages. TSN connects the worsening supply problem to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil facilities. The measures are regional and do not constitute one nationwide liter cap.
