The Anti-Terrorist Commission of Sverdlovsk Oblast has refuted information circulating on social media and messengers about Yekaterinburg's transition to mobile gas stations due to fuel shortages.
The agency stated that malicious actors are distributing fabricated images of a "governor's order" and announcements about the start of mobile refueling points with fuel dispensing limits. Governor Denis Pasler has not signed any such documents.
According to E1.RU, the fake news about mobile gas stations with fuel limits is spreading against the backdrop of fuel problems that have arisen in the region since late June.
The FSB explained the provocateurs' logic: to create a stir at gas stations. Residents are urged to trust only official sources and not participate in the dissemination of fake documents.
