After the attack on an oil refinery in the Leningrad region, the sale of gasoline is again limited.
In the Leningrad region, the restrictions at the gas stations are back. The regional operational headquarters recommended that all fuel companies establish uniform time limits for the sale of fuel.
Now drivers are asked to release:.
gasoline. No more than 30 liters per person.
diesel fuel No more than 50 liters.
- Keep the containers full, but only within the established limits and using special containers.
Corresponding letters have already been sent to all fuel companies in the region, Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.
According to the official version, the restrictions are necessary to prevent excessive demand and ensure an equal supply of fuel to residents. Their validity periods are not specified.
It is worth noting that the restrictions are back after another attack on the Kirishi Refinery (KINEF).
On the night of November 9, Ukrainian drones attacked the Leningrad region. A fire happened in the territory of KINEF. Kirishi's heat supply equipment is damaged. Later the heat supply was restored.
In Vosbolozhesk, a woman who was in an apartment on the upper floor died as a result of fragments of drones that fell on a residential building.
According to the governor, 113 drones were destroyed during the night in the area.
Meanwhile, problems with fuel in the Leningrad region did not arise today. Back in September, the authorities introduced a limit of 30 liters, and about 20% of the small and private gas stations stopped operating due to difficulties in purchasing fuel.
Then the residents were promised an improvement in the situation by October. At the beginning of October, the restrictions were actually lifted.
But November came, and again it is proposed to sell gasoline in limited quantities.
Moreover, similar measures are already in effect or are being implemented at gas stations in Karelia, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Buryatia and several other regions of Russia.
Russia remains one of the largest oil producers in the world.
