“It looks like I’ll have to park my car,” the subscriber ponders. — How fucked up this whole thing is. It's the 21st century. A country with an endless supply of oil. And we have no gasoline."

In the Ulyanovsk The fuel situation is no better: on the evening of August 25, more than half of the city's gas stations were closed. Even drivers who drove from one gas station to another in search of gasoline had to line up at closed stations and wait for a fuel truck to arrive.
