The authorities of Chechnya reported the absence of fuel shortages.

Gasoline and diesel fuel are available in sufficient quantities, with a reserve, at all gas stations in Chechnya, the Ministry of Industry, Trade, Fuel and Energy of Chechnya reported.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", since the end of June, there have been interruptions in gasoline sales in Chechnya. Car owners reported long queues at gas stations and restrictions on fuel dispensing. Residents of the republic linked the situation to increased control over gasoline sales, but the official authorities did not explain the reasons for the shortage in detail. At private gas stations, gasoline prices have risen to 190 rubles. At many gas stations in Chechnya, various types of fuel are available without long queues, but a strict limit of 20 liters still applies. The price of gasoline at private stations is regularly increasing, and its quality raises doubts, drivers told "Caucasian Knot".

At "Rosneft" gas stations in Chechnya, gasoline is much cheaper than at private ones: 73 rubles per liter of AI-95 compared to 190 at private stations. "But there are only a couple of these gas stations in Chechnya, plus there are huge queues. A friend went to a "Rosneft" gas station to buy gasoline for a lawnmower. He patiently stood in line, but they refused to fill 5 liters into the tank. They said they only serve cars, and no more than 20 liters per vehicle. Such unwritten rules, it turns out, are in effect,” wrote a reader of “Caucasian Knot” with the nickname enrique on July 16 under the article about the fuel situation.

There is no fuel shortage in the Chechen Republic, reported the Ministry of Industry, Trade, Fuel and Energy of the Chechen Republic.

“Gasoline and diesel fuel are available in sufficient quantities, with a reserve, at all gas stations,” the agency's message is quoted by "Chechnya Today".

It is noted that data on fuel stocks and supplies are constantly updated. This allows for timely responses to any changes and ensures uninterrupted supply to consumers.

“A necessary reserve of gasoline and diesel fuel has been formed in the republic, and there are no interruptions in supplies. We monitor the situation at each gas station on a daily basis. There is no reason for concern, and the rumors circulating online should not be believed,” said the acting Minister of Industry, Trade, Fuel and Energy of the Chechen Republic, Iles Masaev.

Recall that against the backdrop of interruptions in gasoline sales in Chechnya, the demand for the installation of gas cylinder equipment has increased, according to local residents, the cost of installing a gas cylinder kit reaches 70-120 thousand rubles, and for some vehicles - up to 150 thousand rubles.
