In the aggressor country of russia, gas stations have been put up for sale en masse due to the fuel crisis. Not only private gas stations are being put up for sale, but also gas stations of large oil companies. This is reported by the russian propaganda publication Izvestia.
Over the past month, more than 150 ads for the sale of gas stations have appeared on marketplaces and corporate websites in the Novosibirsk, Kursk, Bryansk, Ivanovo, Tambov, Ryazan, Vladimir and Orenburg Oblasts.
Sellers are asking from RUB 1 million to RUB 150 million for a gas station. The price depends on the period of operation, location, equipment and availability of a franchise. In Ufa, a network of 13 gas stations is being put up for sale for RUB 350 million.
The publication writes, citing the sellers, that the decision to put gas stations up for sale was made due to the deterioration of their financial situation. Some of the sellers intend to spend the funds received from the sale to repay debts that they incurred against the backdrop of a fuel shortage in the country. At the same time, many owners do not intend to continue working in this business.
It is emphasized that large oil companies are also selling their gas stations. For example, Gazprom has put up gas stations in the Astrakhan, Rostov, Tambov and Nizhny Novgorod Oblasts for sale. The cost of the station ranges from RUB 900,000 to RUB 13.4 million. And Lukoil has announced its intention to sell gas stations in the Tver, Tyumen, Chelyabinsk, Kaluga Oblasts and Perm Krai.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on July 10, the government of the aggressor country, the russian federation, for the first time admitted that the fuel shortage is connected with Ukraine's strikes on oil refineries.
Recall that on July 1, it became known that russia, the world's largest producer of petroleum products, was forced to start importing gasoline from India, to which it sells its oil at a low price.
The day before, Reuters reported that russia had asked Indian oil refineries to increase gasoline supplies amid a shortage in the domestic market.
