Fuel Sales in Crimea to Proceed Without Schedules as Power Outages Hit Day 12.
Crimea Faces Severe Supply Disruptions
According to Espreso.tv: Sergei Aksyonov, the Russian-installed head of Crimea, has stated that gasoline can no longer be sold on a guaranteed daily basis at filling stations across the region. He also acknowledged that it is impossible to establish reliable schedules for electricity distribution. These challenges come amid a prolonged blackout affecting many parts of Crimea, with some areas now in their 12th consecutive day without power.
Speaking on July 13 during broadcasts on Espreso and Slawa.TV, Vladyslav Seleznyov highlighted that the humanitarian situation in Sevastopol is deteriorating due to a severe fuel shortage. Businesses in the city have ground to a halt as a direct result of the lack of gasoline.

In several Crimean settlements, electricity has been unavailable for 12 days, compounding the daily struggles faced by local residents. With no guaranteed supply of either fuel or power, the region continues to experience a critical situation.
Social and Economic Fallout
The crisis in Crimea and Sevastopol underscores severe failures in meeting the basic needs of the population, which could trigger significant social and economic consequences. Ongoing power cuts and fuel shortages are not only disrupting everyday life but also crippling local businesses, potentially fueling rising social tensions across the region.
