Russian-installed officials in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol announce a halt to fuel sales for civilians, affecting both in-person and cashless transactions. RTE News reports that fuel stations suspend all fuel sales to individuals and businesses from 9:00am local time, including cash, non-cash and voucher purchases. The Kyiv Post adds that gas stations will dispense fuel only to state services required for security and regional operations, and says a similar measure applies in Sevastopol. It reports that fuel distribution methods are restricted, including the suspension of QR-code-based sales and limits to emergency transport, citing supply delays. Times of India similarly reports that the Russian-installed governor says fuel sales to individuals and private businesses stop for an unspecified period. Across the reports, officials frame the change as temporary and limited to government or emergency needs, urging residents to rely on official information. The measures are presented as linked to conditions in the area amid the ongoing conflict, though the reports do not provide additional verification beyond the officials’ statements.
