For example, in February 2026, the Moscow Arbitration Court ordered the Morskoy Neftyanoy Terminal in occupied Crimea to pay over 8.4 million roubles (US$55,000) to the company Mosregiongaz. The latter submitted documents showing it had lost 132 tonnes of AI-92 petrol and nearly 24 tonnes of diesel fuel stored at the terminal. The petroleum products were destroyed in a drone attack in October 2024.
