A shortage of fuel has been reported in the Russian-occupied city of Kakhovka, while local residents are actively buying up sugar and flour.
According to Ukrinform, this was reported on Facebook by journalist Oleh Baturin.
“Kakhovka. There is no gasoline or any other fuel at all, not even from black-market sellers. Fuel is occasionally delivered to Chaplynka, but residents of Kakhovka cannot get there in time to refuel because locals buy everything up immediately. People are stocking up on sugar, flour, and cooking oil,” the journalist wrote.
According to Baturin, bus fares within Kakhovka have risen to 70 rubles, while a trip from Kakhovka to Liubymivka costs 100 rubles. He noted that these prices are several times higher than they were before the arrival of the Russian occupiers and significantly higher than public transport fares in government-controlled Ukraine, even after recent fare increases.
Baturin also said that Kakhovka is facing another problem: a shortage of cash rubles.
