Crimea establishes hotline for Russian tourists facing fuel shortage

Crimea has launched a hotline for Russian tourists stranded due to a fuel shortage preventing their departure from the peninsula. The hotline aims to direct visitors to designated gas stations where they can refuel. This measure follows restrictions on gasoline sales, including a ban on selling fuel in canisters and limits on purchases. The fuel crisis in Crimea and Russia is linked to Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, significantly impacting the country's oil processing capacity and fuel exports.
