The Crimean bridge is emptying: Crimeans have to go for gasoline for Krasnodar

After the peak of queues at the Crimean Bridge last week, the number of cars traveling from Crimea or to the peninsula has sharply decreased.

"There are no difficulties in getting to the manual inspection points on both sides of the Crimean Bridge," the Crimean Bridge: Operational Information channel reports as of 14.00. Previously, the largest number of cars was recorded leaving the peninsula at 8.00 and 9.00 — 650. On the other hand, the queues reached 850 cars.

This is half as much as the queue reached last week.

On the one hand, power outages have become shorter. On the other hand, the situation may be related to gasoline. Crimeans can carry back 200 liters. However, there are fewer and fewer free volumes for them in Taman.

"On June 29, as of 10 a.m., 27 gas stations are operating in the Temryuk district, there is less gasoline available than yesterday," Temryuk Info reports with reference to the district authorities.

According to him, restrictions have been introduced at a number of gas stations by the decision of the owners — fuel is released only into fuel tanks: "Ai-100 — at 9 gas stations; Ai-95 — at 9 gas stations; Ai-92 — at 10 gas stations; DT — at 11 gas stations. Another 14 gas stations temporarily do not release fuel," the telegram channel writes.

Crimean motorists say that they have to move further and further away from the peninsula in search of gasoline.

"We searched all night. They found it already in the morning outside Krasnodar — 150 kilometers further east," one of the drivers shares.

In the Crimea itself, gasoline is sold more expensive than coffee in a cafe — 300 rubles per liter. At the same time, fuel begins to appear at the gas stations themselves. However, this happens without announcements, and it quickly diverges. At least, the authorities do not announce. Officially, it was announced in Crimea that the free sale at the gas station, including on coupons, was being stopped.

The governor of Sevastopol Mikhail Razvozhaev, however, reported that in the hero city the sale by codes is resumed - every Sevastopol motorist can get 20 liters per week.
