At the end of May, problems arose in Crimea regarding gasoline sales restrictions to consumers. AI-95 gasoline is sold mainly to public transport with coupons, while AI-92 is limited to no more than 20 liters per car. It is likely a consequence of ongoing Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Moreover, the Ukrainian armed forces are systematically conducting a logistical blockade to cut off the peninsula from supply routes. Major transport hubs are being destroyed, and constant pressure is being applied to the Kerch Bridge. Explosions at Russian military bases, warehouses, and Black Sea Fleet headquarters occur almost daily, indicating that Russian military formations have completely lost any security in the rear.
