The occupation administration of Crimea has still not managed to overcome the consequences of the fuel crisis, which continues to worsen on the peninsula. Fuel shortages and massive lines at gas stations have already begun to affect not only drivers but also public transportation in major cities. This is according to a statement from the National Resistance Center.

According to the National Resistance Center, in Sevastopol, buses are stuck in traffic jams for hours due to congestion near gas stations, making it impossible for them to keep to their schedules. Passengers are forced to wait much longer for buses, while the buses themselves are wasting precious fuel sitting in traffic instead of transporting people.

“The situation seems particularly absurd: public transportation, which the occupying authorities are trying to supply with remaining fuel, is itself burning it up in endless lines and traffic jams created by the officials’ inability to organize a stable supply. In this way, the crisis only exacerbates itself, the Center emphasizes.

According to the National Resistance Center, problems with logistics, fuel shortages, and ineffective management are gradually paralyzing the normal functioning of occupied Crimea.

“Despite attempts by Russian propaganda to paint a picture of ‘stability,’ reality shows the opposite—the peninsula is sinking ever deeper into an economic and logistical crisis, the consequences of which ordinary residents feel every day, the National Resistance Center concludes.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, a liter of gasoline in Crimea costs up to RUB 200. In April, it cost no more than RUB 80.
