Some gas stations in Moscow and regions in northern Russia have begun introducing limits on fuel purchases following months of sustained Ukrainian drone attacks against major oil refineries across the country.
Msk1.ru, a Moscow-based news outlet, reported that Lukoil gas stations in the Russian capital and surrounding region have capped gasoline sales at 100 liters (26.42 gallons) per driver.
Gazprom’s gas stations are restricting customers to purchases of 100-150 liters (26.42-39.63 gallons) of regular gasoline or diesel, a customer service representative said.
ORTK, which operates 36 gas stations across Moscow and the Moscow region, limited gasoline sales to 60 liters (15.85 gallons) per driver and diesel to 100 liters (26.42 gallons) as of Saturday. ORTK told Msk1.ru that the restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
“We aren’t the only ones doing this,” a spokesperson for the company was quoted as saying.
