“Problems remain both for motorists and for businesses: there are, unfortunately, queues at gas stations, and it is not always possible to find the required grade of gasoline. And of course, we understand the difficulties faced by agricultural producers and farming enterprises during the summer period”, - putin said regarding the gasoline shortage in russia at an unscheduled meeting in the kremlin on the evening of June 28. He is cited by “The Moscow Times” Telegram channel.
The media notes that with these words, the russian dictator has for the first time admitted fuel supply problems.
According to putin, russian oil refinery capacities are operating at maximum levels, accumulated fuel reserves are being used, but “...both citizens and businesses continue to experience difficulties in purchasing gasoline”.
