Russian armed forces have destroyed more than 80 petrol stations in the Kharkiv region, leaving the entire 140-kilometer (87-mile) Kharkiv-Poltava stretch of the route without a single functioning filling station, Kharkiv Regional Council deputy Oleksandr Skoryk told Espreso TV on Monday.Skoryk said that the situation is worsening daily, and that the last working gas station in the village of Valky was destroyed on Sunday, July 26.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.However, the head of the Kharkiv Regional Military Administration pushed back on that claim just hours later.“More than 200 gas stations have been destroyed in Ukraine, more than 80 of them in Kharkiv and Kharkiv region. But there is no crisis. We live, we fight,” Skoryk said.Entire highway stretch left without fuel accessThe most severely affected section runs along the Kharkiv-Kyiv highway, specifically between Kharkiv and Poltava, where Skoryk said every single station has been wiped out – including “in the city of Chutovo, and further on the road to Poltava.”He urged drivers planning to travel this route to stock up on fuel in advance, warning that there are now practically no opportunities to refuel anywhere along that stretch.Despite the scale of destruction, Skoryk said that any talk of a fuel or food crisis is premature. According to him, daily life and the war effort continue uninterrupted.However, Syniehubov dismissed those claims.“I want to separately emphasize: information from some media that not a single operating gas station remains on the highway from Kharkiv to Poltava does not correspond to reality,” Syniehubov said in a statement on his Telegram channel.
