In the Leningrad region, gasoline limits were restored after Ukrainian armed forces attacked the oil refinery.

In the Leningrad region, the sale of fuel at gas stations was again restricted. The regional operational headquarters recommended gas stations to issue no more than 30 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel per person. It is allowed to pour fuel into cans, but definitely at the same rate for one car. Governor Alexander Drozdenko explained the decision as a forced step: large oil companies have already begun to reduce the supply of fuel at their own stations.

The restrictions were introduced after a night attack by Ukrainian drones on industry in the area. In the Kirishi region, a UAV hit the territory of the KINEF plant, the only refinery in the northwest, which supplies about 7% of all oil refining in Russia. A fire started in the factory, the fire was located until the morning.

This is already the second round of restrictions for the region: in September, a fifth of the independent gas stations were closed here, the authorities have already introduced limits of 30 liters and hoped to stabilize the market by October. But the respite is over. Over the past two weeks, at least eight major refineries in the country have been attacked, which is why outages and restrictions have returned to seven regions at once - from neighboring Karelia to Buryatia and Transbaikalia.

Drivers of the Leningrad region, share your comments: have you noticed a rush at gas stations in your area or is everything still working as usual?
