Petrol sales in Russian-occupied Crimea will be suspended from Sunday morning as a fuel crisis deepens on the peninsula.
"Today, June 21, starting at 9:00 AM, fuel sales at Crimean gas stations will be suspended for cash, non-cash payments, and vouchers for individuals and legal entities," Sergey Aksyonov, the Moscow-backed governor of Crimea, announced in a post on Telegram.
"Fuel will be sold only to government agencies that ensure the functioning and security of the Republic of Crimea," he added, while also asking residents to remain calm.
