Drone attacks have created problems with fuel delivery to gas stations in Stavropol.

Due to drone attacks, there have been problems with fuel delivery to gas stations, reported the governor of Stavropol. Local residents, commenting on his words in Telegram, wondered why officials did not anticipate these risks when organizing the supply system.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", Stavropol Krai is regularly subjected to drone attacks. Today, drones attacked a warehouse complex on the outskirts of Nevinnomyssk, injuring five people .

Users pointed out the unpreparedness of the supply system

The fuel situation in Stavropol remains complicated due to logistics problems. Fuel companies stop shipping fuel during the drone danger regime. This, in turn, slows down the process of delivering fuel to gas stations, reported the governor of the region Vladimir Vladimirov on July 21 in his Telegram channel.

This post in Vladimirov's Telegram channel, which has more than 147.6 thousand subscribers, had about 24.9 thousand views and 215 comments by 13:15 Moscow time on July 22.

Some users wondered why the supply system was not prepared for such risks. "What a news! Captain Obvious," sarcastically remarked Ruso Turisto.

"I would not want emergency circumstances to become a universal explanation for any fuel problems. So, the system turned out to be unprepared for predictable risks?" asked Ilya D.

"Why not just tell the truth, without beating around the bush? No one has believed a single promise for a long time," stated Sanek.

Users reported the consequences of fuel shortages for agriculture. Farmers complained about the high cost of gasoline during the harvest season.

"I am a farmer. I abandoned haymaking, sold my cows, there is no supply of fuel for small agricultural producers at all," wrote a user with the nickname Narkoz_zov.

"It is harvest season now, and this harvest needs to be transported from the fields somehow. How long will this continue?" asked a user with the nickname Wife and Mother.

Commentators reported that the restrictions affected not only gasoline but also gas. Users particularly noted the difficult situation in small towns with few network gas stations.

"Why does "Rosneft" only refuel with fuel cards? Even gas is refueled with fuel cards. Private or small network gas stations have raised gas prices to 40–43 rubles," wrote a user with the nickname vdm.

"In Neftyekumsk, "Rosneft" has not refueled gas for individuals for a week. Private sellers have astronomical prices. And in our small town, there is only one "Rosneft" gas station with gas. What should small towns do?" asked a user with the nickname Wife and Mother in another comment.

Some users complained about high gasoline prices and its quality. "Private sellers are already charging 160–180 rubles for gasoline," noted Elona Dobrikova.

"And what about the quality of the fuel? It seems to evaporate. The consumption remains the same, but the range just disappears before our eyes. In fact, the consumption has doubled. Who will answer for the ruined engines?" exclaimed Ira.

Reducing the use of official transport did not solve the problem

Recall that earlier the governor of Stavropol instructed regional ministers and heads of municipalities to reduce the use of official transport. He noted that for regional leaders, cars can only be used in Stavropol, and all trips outside the city must be coordinated with him. Similarly, in municipal administrations, in the Duma and local councils of deputies. According to officials, this will free up about three thousand tons of fuel for the commercial market every month.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the fuel crisis forced drivers in the southern regions of Russia to massively install gas equipment on their cars. There have been long queues at auto repair shops.

Long queues at auto services force drivers to turn to "gray" installers, who do not guarantee safety, analysts previously pointed out.
