Crimea’s Russian-installed authorities said fuel sales at filling stations will stop from 9 a.m. Sunday, with supplies reserved only for services deemed critical to the peninsula’s functioning and security.
The move followed Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian refineries, which authorities cited as the reason for rationing fuel on the occupied peninsula.
Sergey Aksyonov, Crimea’s Kremlin-backed head, also said an overnight Ukrainian attack killed at least four people, underscoring the immediate security pressure behind the restrictions.
