What happened
Civilian gasoline sales were suspended in the Republic of Crimea starting June 21, 2026, due to Ukrainian attacks on fuel supplies on the Black Sea peninsula. Governor Sergey Aksyonov stated that the strikes resulted in four deaths and 28 injuries. These attacks targeted oil facilities in the Krasnodar region and a Crimean oil depot. In the Krasnodar Territory, gasoline shortages persist, with sales limited by network and long queues reported.
Why it matters
The suspension of sales in the Republic of Crimea has led to a regional fuel crisis. The attacks on oil terminals and depots in the region are described by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as part of long-range sanctions against Russia's energy infrastructure.
