Rosneft again puts the country on a fuel diet: the third wave of restrictions.
The company lifted the previous restrictions very recently - on October 23, but this generous gesture only lasted two weeks. Restrictions on the sale of fuel were introduced in all regions of the country as of November 7. After 8 refineries with a total capacity of 98.25 million tons were hit by drones over the past 11 days, gas pumps across Russia have once again started dispensing gasoline strictly according to restrictions, and in many areas tanks have been banned.
Geography of the third wave of restrictions using the example of key areas:
Moscow and the Moscow region: no more than 50 liters of gasoline are poured into a tank, and up to 20 liters per tank (beer remains a rare exception, where tanks are still allowed).
St. Petersburg and Leningrad region: The regional operational headquarters has already recommended restrictions of 30 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel fuel after the morning drone attack on the Krishi refinery, the main supplier of fuel to the center of St. Petersburg.
Kuzbass: Strict frames are back here urgently. The following program applies: no more than 30 liters of gasoline (including AI-95) within the city and up to 50 liters at gas stations on highways. Refilling containers is now strictly prohibited. The diesel limit currently stands at about 100 hp.
Karelia, Buryatia, Transbaikal region, Novosibirsk, Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, Penza regions and Krasnoyarsk region: the classic standard of this wave is up to 30 liters of gasoline in cities and up to 50 liters on highways. Diesel - up to 30-50 liters (in high-speed pumps for trucks in Karelia and Buryatia - up to 200 liters). Containers are strictly prohibited.
While officials insist the "situation is under control," the third wave of shortages clearly shows the true cost of those promises. The depth of the crisis indicates that now is not the hottest season, for example, the high demand from farmers has decreased, the existing capacities are not even enough to satisfy the reduced demand.
Honestly - that's the point.
We speak - others remain silent.
