There were long lines at the gas stations.
On the evening of May 29, the occupation authorities in Crimea announced the introduction of serious restrictions on the purchase of A-95 gasoline from the next morning. Despite appeals not to buy gasoline in advance, people rushed en masse to gas stations, reports Charter97.org with reference to local Telegram channels.
From 09:00 hours on May 30 throughout the occupied peninsula gasoline A-95 will be sold no more than 20 liters per person per day. This was announced by the "head" of annexed Crimea Sergey Aksyonov in his Telegram channel.
"I ask Crimeans not to stock up on gasoline and refuel vehicles as usual," Aksyonov urged.


Despite this, residents of the occupied peninsula have formed long lines in the hope of having time to buy fuel before morning. Such queues were noticed a short time after the announcement in Simferopol and Sevastopol.
In comments to Aksyonov's message, residents began to resent the news and complain that some places do not have gasoline at all, and the one that is available, put "cosmic prices". The chat participants also noticed that outrageous messages disappear soon.
