In Crimea, public transport routes are being reduced due to a severe fuel shortage. Residents are facing long queues and travel restrictions, according to the National Resistance Center.
The temporarily occupied region is experiencing a significant fuel deficit, forcing authorities to cut public transport routes. According to CNS, the shortage reaches 56% of the region’s needs.
The Russian authorities are distributing fuel under strict limits, 20 liters per person, while many gas stations remain closed. Priority access is given to the military and administrative bodies.
Impact on residents
Residents of the region are forced to adapt to the new conditions: long lines form at gas stations, routes have become less frequent, and the number of trips is limited. This complicates daily life and makes transportation difficult.
Meanwhile, in Lithuania, Culture Minister Ignotas Adomavičius resigned just a week after his appointment. The resignation followed criticism over his inability to give a clear stance on Crimea’s status, which sparked public outcry.
In the temporarily occupied Crimea, new restrictions on fuel sales have been introduced. Now, a single vehicle owner can purchase no more than 20 liters of fuel, further worsening the shortage and making everyday travel even more challenging for residents.
