Details: There is currently no timeframe for the resumption of the free sale of petrol and diesel in Crimea, and the fuel situation on the peninsula remains difficult, said Oleg Kryuchkov, adviser to the Russian-installed head of Crimea.

"There is still no real breakthrough that would allow us to say that petrol will be available at filling stations next week. The situation is quite difficult. A decision has now been made to supply fuel only to emergency services and services responsible for essential functions, including food distribution groups," he said on the Krym 24 TV channel.
