The Sevastopol administration announced that on July 4, TES gas stations will not receive another batch of QR codes for fuel purchases. Residents were advised not to queue – gasoline on Saturday is intended exclusively for communal service vehicles, ambulances, law enforcement, and public transport.

Earlier, it was reported that AI-95 Ultra and Ultra diesel fuel were freely available at eight ATAN network gas stations in the city. However, the main volume of fuel at TES is directed towards ensuring the city's vital functions.

Restrictions on the sale of gasoline and diesel have been in effect in Crimea and Sevastopol since late May. The Russian government has formed a special headquarters for round-the-clock monitoring of the situation, and the ban on gasoline exports remains until the end of July.

The Russian government acknowledges that the situation in the fuel market remains challenging but controllable. Crimea, Sevastopol, and border regions have been designated as areas of special attention.
