Dagestan and Chechnya are among the regions with the highest fuel price increases.

From June 18 to 25, the most significant increases in gasoline prices were recorded in Crimea, Dagestan, Chechnya, and the Ivanovo region. This data was obtained by the Verstka editorial team after analyzing data from the Benzup service.

In Dagestan, the price of AI-92 gasoline increased by 18.6%, reaching 90.9 rubles per liter, placing the republic in second place for the fastest growth rate. Dagestan ranked third for the increase in the price of AI-95 (up 15.9% to 96.3 rubles), and first for the increase in diesel fuel (17%). In Chechnya, the price of AI-92 gasoline increased by 17.3% during the same week. Crimea recorded the largest weekly increase in AI-92 gasoline prices, up 27.2% to 117.1 rubles per liter. AI-95 increased by 21.1% to 118.9 rubles, while diesel fuel rose by 11.6%.

Against these backdrops, official restrictions have been introduced in Dagestan: no more than 20 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel fuel are permitted per purchase. Similar measures have been adopted in Adygea, citing increased demand. In the North Caucasus, fuel sales restrictions are also in effect in Stavropol Krai.

The fuel crisis in Russia's regions arose due to Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries. According to Reuters, strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces led to the shutdown of major refineries in central Russia. As a result, gasoline production by mid-June had fallen by approximately 25% compared to the average daily levels in June 2025.

On August 14, 1992, hostilities broke out in Abkhazia; the conflict lasted over a year and became one of the most severe in Georgia's modern history. On that day, Georgian units entered the self-proclaimed Autonomous Republic of Abkhazia, crossing from the direction of the Inguri River. Tbilisi justified the deployment of the National Guard by citing the need to protect railway links. However, the advancing Georgian column encountered armed resistance from Abkhaz forces.
