Overview
- Occupation authorities announced on June 2 that sales of AI-95, AI-92 and diesel in Luhansk will be limited to 20 liters per person as a temporary measure.
- Moscow has already introduced temporary petrol limits on Crimea and banned kerosene exports through at least November to protect domestic supplies.
- International reporting links the shortages to Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on Russian oil sites and supply routes that have restricted deliveries.
- Local measures reported include reserving higher-octane fuel for public and social transport, banning filling of containers, and long tanker delays caused by restrictions on crossing the Crimean bridge.
- The restrictions cut both civilian access to fuel and a revenue stream for Moscow, and they could further strain Russian military logistics if disruptions continue.
