The governor of Sevastopol in Crimea announced severe disruptions to fuel supply, attributing them to Ukrainian drone attacks that prevent truck deliveries from reaching the area, according to a statement cited by Russian state media.
The governor of Sevastopol, the largest city on the Crimean peninsula, reported on Monday morning that fuel supply to the region has been severely disrupted. In a statement carried by Russian state media, he said Ukrainian drone strikes are preventing fuel trucks from reaching Sevastopol. The announcement comes as part of a broader fuel crisis affecting parts of Russia and occupied Crimea, which The Zioneer has previously tracked. As of Jun 10, Crimea was reportedly taking steps to restore supply amid a severe shortage that had already prompted fueling restrictions in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The current disruption appears to be an acute local manifestation of those wider logistical difficulties, with the governor specifically naming ongoing Ukrainian drone operations as the direct cause. No estimate was given for how long the disruption might last, and no alternative supply routes were announced.
