The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has published a report alleging that Georgian authorities used chemical weapons during the suppression of pro-European protests in Tbilisi in 2024. The chemical weapon in question is bromobenzyl cyanide, a chemical warfare agent dating back to World War I, also known as "kamit."
Fuel reserves at oil depots in Stavropol Krai are estimated to be sufficient to meet the region's needs, however, some gas stations are experiencing temporary supply disruptions for certain types of gasoline. This was announced by the press service of the Stavropol Krai Ministry of Energy, Industry, and Communications.
According to the ministry, the short-term shortage is due to seasonal increases in demand during the holidays and harvest season, as well as scheduled and unscheduled maintenance work at oil refineries.
Regional Minister of Energy, Industry, and Communications Ivan Kovalev emphasized that the ministry, in cooperation with major petroleum product suppliers, is monitoring the situation daily and taking measures to stabilize fuel supplies.
