Fuel supply at gas stations in the Volgograd region has been increased after car owners attempted to address Bastrykin.

The defense appealed the five-day arrest of lawyer Alexey Sevastyanov under the article on disobedience to the police, who, along with other participants, tried to record an address to the head of the Investigative Committee regarding the fuel situation. The defense appealed the arrest, but information about it has not yet appeared in the case file. Authorities in the Volgograd region reported an increase in fuel supply limits at "Lukoil" gas stations.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", police detained five people at a gas station in Volgograd who were recording a video address to the head of the Investigative Committee, Alexander Bastrykin, about the gasoline situation. In particular, they pointed out that officials. Lawyer Alexey Sevastyanov was arrested by the court on July 17 for five days.

By July 7, more than half of the gas stations in Volgograd had been closed, and long lines formed at all open gas stations. Authorities insist that fuel supplies are timely and sufficient, and that the crisis is caused by "artificial hype." On July 9, residents of the Volgograd region complained about a sharp rise in fuel prices. On July 10, drivers from Volgograd and the region reported long lines at gas stations and expressed their opposition to the Astrakhan system of selling gasoline on even and odd days depending on the car's number. In Astrakhan, despite the introduction of this system, drivers' problems worsened by July 14 - they now have to wait for hours to refuel, and gasoline can run out in a few hours, they reported.

The defense appealed the arrest of Alexey Sevastyanov, who was arrested for five days for disobedience to police officers, reported lawyer Albert Karmazinovsky.

"Yesterday we filed a complaint, and as far as I know, such cases are considered immediately, but at the moment I have no information about who and when will consider it. It is quite possible that it will be considered by the on-duty judge, but I also allow the option that the hearing will be postponed until Monday, and by that time my client will have already spent four days in the temporary detention facility," he told V1.

The complaint regarding the decision to hold Sevastyanov administratively liable has not yet appeared on the court's website; by 00:01 on July 19, it was not in the case file. At the same time, the administrative protocol against Sevastyanov was considered in a few hours - at 11:49 the case was submitted to the judge, and a decision was made at the hearing at 14:10 Moscow time, according to the case file on the website of the Central District Court of Volgograd.

Meanwhile, the regional committee for industry and trade announced on its website another change in the fuel supply limit at the "Lukoil" gas station network. This information appeared on the official website of the agency.

"As of July 18, a decision has been made to once again increase the supply volume - now up to 40 liters per transaction. To minimize waiting, gas station operations are suspended only during the reception of fuel from tankers. Residents of the Volgograd region are asked to refuel their vehicles as needed, not in advance. Monitoring of the fuel market situation continues by the relevant agencies in the region in cooperation with the Federal Antimonopoly Service in the Volgograd region," the agency reported.

It should be noted that participants in the video address stated that the theme of the address was inequality in access to fuel - officials fill their tanks using fuel cards, while residents are often simply denied. The lawyer pointed out that those gathered wanted to complain about high gasoline prices.

The fuel crisis arose against the backdrop of attacks on oil refineries, including those located in southern Russia. For example, on June 10, a fire occurred at the territory of a refinery in the village of Afipsky. On June 5, an oil depot in Ust-Labinsk caught fire, requiring the evacuation of residents from nearby houses. On June 2, a fire broke out at an oil refinery in the village of Ilsk in the Seversky district as a result of a drone attack. The fire was extinguished the same day.
