A Gasoline Collapse Has Broken Out In Crimea

Fuel is already being drained from parked cars.

Local residents in occupied Crimea are actually unable to buy gasoline: leftover fuel is used for the needs of the occupiers.

Telegram channel "OTPOR" and local informants from Feodosia report a sharp worsening of the fuel crisis in Crimea: gasoline is increasingly going into the hands of the Russian military, while civilians are left with nothing.

According to eyewitnesses, the occupants prioritize refueling of military convoys and units, while ordinary drivers stand in long lines and sometimes leave with empty tanks.

The quality of fuel also raises serious questions. Cars start to stall after refueling, there are problems with starting engines, and drivers complain of a pungent smell of paint and foreign impurities in gasoline.

These points point to impurities or adulteration of fuel - the result of a shortage of legal supplies and attempts by local suppliers to save money on components. Against the backdrop of the shortage, crime has also increased: there are cases of gasoline being literally drained right out of parked cars.

In fact, this is not just theft - it is a telling picture of the collapse of normal life under the rule of the occupiers, who have turned Crimea into a solid military base.

Drivers are already saying they are forced to buy imported gasoline on the black market at inflated prices or save money on their trips.

The situation with fuel will only worsen, according to the channel "OTPOR". Local residents are advised to prepare for a complete gasoline collapse.
