Fuel supply disruptions have occurred in Tula Oblast. According to the regional government, cited by TASS, 74% of gas stations in the region are network stations, and most of them have gasoline, with prices unchanged. However, some gas stations are out of fuel, and queues have formed at the remaining ones. The authorities attributed the cause to "restructuring logistics."
Private gas stations, not part of large networks, maintain prices around 100 rubles per liter – there are no queues there, but some of these stations are simply closed. Socially significant services and life support enterprises are fully supplied with fuel. The FAS office has taken the situation under control and has already requested justification for the increase in retail prices from the largest independent operators in Moscow and Moscow Oblast – "Trassa" and "NeftMagistral". They must report by June 26.
Problems are also being recorded in other regions. In Sevastopol, gasoline is still dispensed by QR codes with a limit of 20 liters per person, and free sale is only available at eight ATAN network gas stations. In Stavropol Krai and the Volga region, there is also an increased demand.
Experts attribute the tension to unscheduled refinery repairs, seasonal consumption growth, and fuel redistribution between regions.
