Sevastopol Supermarkets Limit Essential Food Purchases Amid Logistics Crisis
In Sevastopol, a city in the temporarily occupied Crimean Peninsula, supermarkets have begun capping the purchase of essential goods such as cooking oil and pasta. This development comes as a result of ongoing logistical disruptions that have severely impacted the region's supply chains. The crisis, which began in late May, has led to the introduction of a 20-liter purchase limit on gasoline and a coupon system for diesel. These measures were implemented following intensified efforts by Ukraine to disrupt Russian logistics, including strikes on oil refineries and transport routes. By early June, the situation worsened, with local authorities halting the open sale of fuel at major gas stations, reserving supplies for emergency services only. Residents now face a return to a Soviet-style distribution economy, with basic resources becoming increasingly scarce.
