The authorities of the region explained the reason for the "difficult" situation with gasoline in the Sverdlovsk region.

      A meeting on fuel supply issues in the region took place in the government of the Sverdlovsk region chaired by Governor Denis Pasler. This was reported on Sunday by the regional department of information policy.

      "Participants in the meeting - representatives of organizations in the fuel and energy complex and relevant agencies - emphasized that the situation with fuel supply in many regions of the country and in the Sverdlovsk region is assessed as challenging," reports the department's channel "Sverdlovsk Pool" in Makh.

      "The specifics of the fuel and energy sector in the Sverdlovsk region are such that about 50% of gas stations are owned by 'LUKOIL'. The regional supplier is currently experiencing a temporary fuel shortage related to the forced restructuring of the company's logistics across the country," the statement said.

      This statement partly confirms rumors circulating among motorists that the reason for the gasoline crisis in the region lies in the shortage of fuel tankers.

      "At the same time, 'Gazpromneft' gas stations are selling fuel volumes that exceed last year's levels for the same period by 70%. In addition, gasoline sales at 'Bashneft' stations have increased by 20%," noted the information policy department.

      Fuel supplies last week were at least at the same level compared to the previous week, they emphasized.

      The increase in queues at gas stations is also influenced by the general excitement related to drivers' intentions to fill up their tanks for future trips.
