The State Duma blamed the Russians for a new gasoline shortage.
The deputy of the State Duma from Right Russia, member of the energy committee Igor Annanskych, who commented on the new wave of gasoline shortages in the country, compared them to "queues for hot dogs." Ananskych downplayed the importance of the Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries and explained the restrictions on the sale of fuel by an alleged rush among buyers, forcing sellers to take retaliatory measures, RTVI quoted the deputy as saying.
"I heard that Rosneft introduced restrictions on the sale of fuel in certain areas, this is precisely to reduce the load of demand. Unfortunately, this happens, as we buy gasoline in the summer, so often we buy buckwheat, sausages and the like," Ananskich said. He added that "the situation is still different from the summer" and assured that "the appropriate conclusions and reservations have already been made." The deputy also admitted in effect that the Russian military cannot protect oil refineries in the country. "When 150 or so UAVs fly in, unfortunately, damage is possible," Ananskich stated.
