June 21 (UPI) -- The Russian government on Sunday halted fuel sales to civilians and businesses not considered vital to functioning and security in Crimea.
Sergey Aksyonov, the governor of Crimea, announced people would be turned away from gas stations amid a fuel shortage and logistical difficulties related to the war with Ukraine, the BBC reported.
"Further decisions regarding the current situation in the republic's fuel market will be announced at a later date," he said in a post on Telegram.
The announcement came amid new attacks by Ukraine on energy and transportation infrastructure on the Crimean Peninsula, Politico reported. Russia illegally annexed the peninsula from Ukraine in 2014, and it has been at the center of fighting between the two countries ever since.
Ukraine has repeatedly targeted Russia's energy supply in an effort to hobble its defenses and ability to transport troops and machinery. Fuel facilities in the Kerch Strait in Russia's Krasnodar region have also been attacked.

“The Russian government on Sunday halted fuel sales to civilians and businesses”
BFD! There hasn’t been any gas to sell since last week.
Бензину тобі не буде or more to the point in Ukrainian
Funny how they skew what is happening in the title. Cuts and halts are two different things
I am so glad the Ukrainians finally started hitting Russian oil infrastructure.
I had been saying from day 1 that is what they needed to do.
It would have been more effective if they hit all the vodka distilleries.
lol Russian mir is fascinating
Today, no gasoline for the public in Crimea.
Tomorrow, no gasoline for the public in all of Russia.
The results of Putin’s “special military operation” are coming home to roost.
GAL
Flying saucers are real!
In addition to the attacks on oil infrastructure the Ukies have been hitting the transit corridors to Crimea hard. The Russians have restricted one corridor to military traffic only. That only guaranteed that whatever the Ukies hit on that road was a legitimate military target.

natalia poklonskaya, the Crimean beauty who enamoured people in 2014. In late 2025, she legally changed her first name from Natalia to Radveda. According to her, the name is rooted in ancient myths and traditional legends and translates roughly to "morning dawn" or "star". Along with her name change, she has publicly embraced Rodnovery (Slavic Neopaganism). She regularly dedicates social media content to pagan beliefs, such as celebrating holidays like Samhain and the "Wheel of the Year". This marks a dramatic shift from her early political career, during which she was known as a deeply devout Russian Orthodox Christian who heavily venerated Tsar Nicholas II.
As long as they aren’t doing it with American ordinance. I’m with the Russian separatists that are not Ukrainian. Ukraine was never a language spoken in Crimea. Leave those Russians alone, they’re not Ukrainian nor want to be.
I can personally attest to the fact that it was! I would routinely address strangers in Russian, but they would often reply in Ukrainian - even though I interacted chiefly with the personnel at a Russian military installation.

It wasn’t Ukraine: New video shows Russia’s own missile blew up Moscow refinery in embarrassing miss
The Russkies are so inept. They are doomed to lose this war big time.

The Russkies have always been such clods.
