Sandals on fuel: "The situation is tense, we expect normalization within a week."

      At the meeting, the head of the region, Alexander Sokolov, reported that over the past weekend, the situation with gasoline supplies at gas stations in the Kirov region has significantly worsened. In particular, gasoline has disappeared at many Lukoil stations. "This is not our problem, not a regional one," said the governor. "There are attacks on the oil refining infrastructure." He added that we have "much more gasoline than our neighbors."

      The Chairman of the Government, Mikhail Sandalov, stated that the situation with fuel is currently tense, as many oil refineries are under attack. Repairs are currently underway at all enterprises. Fuel supply is mandatory for all emergency services, life support services, companies that transport products to the regions, etc.

      According to Sandalov, gasoline supply is being carried out in all districts. Additional restrictions on the volume of fuel supply at Lukoil and Chepetsknefteproduct gas stations have been introduced. By the way, the latter company, unlike Lukoil, is currently operating at full capacity.

      "We expect the situation to normalize within this week, unless it worsens with new attacks," said the speaker. He added that there is a fuel reserve, and the authorities are controlling its distribution among all gas stations.

      Sokolov, after listening to the report, asked the residents of the region to be patient. He ordered to keep the situation under daily control and to ensure that all schools are supplied with fuel. Drivers report new queues at gas stations. The Central Bank explained when the situation with gasoline in Russia will become clearer. In Kirov, queues for gasoline are forming again: at "Strelka," people are waiting for an hour and a half.
