Overview

  • Shortages were confirmed in the Vaninsky, Sovetsko-Gavansky and Verkhnebureinsky districts, according to the regional prosecutor’s office.
  • Fuel has been shipped to Vaninsky and Sovetsko-Gavansky, with supply to Verkhnebureinsky still being arranged.
  • Local authorities imposed retail limits of 30 liters per customer and banned sales into canisters as queues formed at stations.
  • The regional energy ministry linked a surge in demand to price swings on the fuel exchange, and several private outlets halted sales, leaving AZS Transbunker as the sole supplier in two districts.
  • Governor Dmitry Demeshin directed officials to secure direct refinery deliveries from Khabarovsk and Komsomolsk-on-Amur within two weeks to stabilize the market.
