Crimea Halts Civilian Gasoline Sales After Deadly Ukrainian Strikes

The Kremlin-appointed governor of Crimea, Sergey Aksyonov, announced a suspension of civilian gasoline sales in Crimea after Ukrainian strikes killed four people and injured dozens, AP reported. The attacks, which hit energy and transport infrastructure in the peninsula, prompted authorities to curb fuel availability to the public. Aksyonov posted the decision on his Telegram channel, stating that the measure was necessary for security.

Politico noted that the halt reserved gasoline supplies for state services, effectively limiting sales to government entities. NPR added that the policy shifted distribution exclusively to government use, confirming the suspension of sales to private buyers.
