Long queues are forming again at gas stations in Russia due to the fuel crisis, and some regions are experiencing fuel shortages.

According to Ukrinform, The Moscow Times reported this.

It is noted that residents in at least 12 Russian regions are complaining about being unable to refuel their cars freely and about having to wait for hours.

In particular, lines are forming at gas stations in the southern cities of Krasnodar and Sochi, where there had previously been no fuel problems, as well as in Gelendzhik. As recently as July 30, Veniamin Kondratyev, the governor of the Krasnodar region, stated that the gasoline situation in the region had “stabilized.”

Authorities in the Kaluga region attributed the gasoline lines to increased demand ahead of the weekend and people’s desire to stock up on fuel.
