The Russian-installed authorities in the occupied part of the Kherson region have tried to profit from a fuel shortage, while Russian forces are facing increasingly serious logistics problems, according to a regional official.
Yurii Sobolevskyi, First Deputy Chairman of the Kherson Regional Council, said this in comments to Ukrinform.
"When these rats started experiencing fuel shortages, their first reaction was to make money from it. I know that [head of the occupation authorities in in the Kherson region] Saldo and his entourage have already received a dressing-down from the FSB over this, and they were made to understand that someone could end up behind bars for it," Sobolevskyi said.

He added that the current situation involving the Chonhar Bridge and the bridge connecting Henichesk with the Arabat Spit resembles the circumstances preceding the liberation of Kherson, when the Antonivskyi Bridge came under repeated strikes.
