Governor Andrey Bocharov dismissed the head of the committee for industrial policy, trade, and the fuel and energy complex, Vladimir Shkarupelov. The reasons for the dismissal were not disclosed. However, just three days before the removal of the committee head, the agency reported that federal and regional relevant agencies, in cooperation with fuel companies, continue daily monitoring of fuel supply in the region, calling the situation controlled and assuring that new logistics allow for daily replenishment of the most in-demand fuel grades.

In Volgograd, huge queues are forming at gas stations. Some motorists are ready to fill their cars with AI-92 gasoline, which is much more commonly available than the higher-octane AI-95, writes V1.

"Gas station on Parkhomenko. The queue is about 40 minutes long, but there are no guarantees that you will be able to fill up with 'ninety-five'. The display showing the price of this gasoline went dark right before our eyes. Only 92 is left, but the queue isn't getting shorter," the publication quotes one of the drivers.

The information was confirmed by participants in the chat "Where is the gasoline, Volgograd".

"Diesel only at the gas station, there is already a queue," Maxim wrote about the gas station on Parkhomenko.

"Parkhomenko is the only gas station in the city with an endless queue," wrote Nellie.

"On the highway to Novoannsk, only diesel at Lukoil, AI-95 ran out an hour ago in Frolovo, it held up well today," reported VictrM.
