Russian-occupied Sevastopol lifted limits on the amount of motor fuel customers could buy beginning October 19. The city's Russian-appointed governor, Mikhail Razvozhayev, announced the change, saying that fuel deliveries had 'practically stabilized.'
According to Razvozhayev, filling stations began selling fuel without quantity limits at midnight. By lunchtime, however, heightened demand had exhausted supplies of AI-92 and AI-95 gasoline and standard diesel at some stations. The governor said the authorities had set a maximum price of 100 rubles per liter for these fuels and that further deliveries were already on their way.
As Interfax reported, Razvozhayev expressed hope that the new supply arrangements would allow continued sales in the near future. His announcement confirms the removal of administrative purchase limits but does not establish that shortages have been resolved across the city.
Sevastopol and other parts of annexed Crimea have experienced disruptions to fuel supplies in recent months. Removing the limits marks a change in how the city's fuel market is managed after a period of restrictions on purchases.
