On the night of August 30, Ukrainian drones attacked several regions of Russia. One of the targets, according to monitoring resources and satellite imagery published online, was a military airfield in Yeysk, Krasnodar Krai.
The Abkhazian Ministry of Energy has announced stabilization of the situation with motor fuel in the region. The first batch of petroleum products purchased by local companies has been received and distributed among market participants.
The gasoline shortage was caused by the fuel crisis in Russia, which, according to experts, could worsen due to logistics problems, overloaded railways, and Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
In Russia, exchange prices for gasoline have reached historic highs, despite the current export ban. The price increase was influenced by seasonal growth in demand, accidents and repair work at oil refineries, as well as insufficient fuel reserves.
According to Rosstat, over the past month and a half, gasoline prices have increased by 2.4%, and since the beginning of the year — by 5.7%.
