In the Novosibirsk region of Russia, some gas stations have suspended the sale of fuel to individuals due to “tense conditions.”

This is reported by “Nastoyaschee Vremya” with reference to the acting Minister of Industry, Trade and Entrepreneurship Development of the region, Denis Ryaguzov.

According to the official, fuel is currently being sold at some gas stations only under long-term contracts, as well as to fulfill municipal and state orders.

Ryaguzov did not specify exactly how many gas stations have introduced such restrictions and in which areas of the region they are in effect.

At the same time, the official assured that there are no problems with gasoline in Novosibirsk itself.

He also reported that in areas of the region where there are no Gazpromneft gas stations, local authorities resolve the issue of providing the population with fuel “manually.”

By the way, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries are increasingly hitting the Russian fuel industry . Gasoline production has noticeably decreased, and fuel problems are already affecting regions located thousands of kilometers from Ukraine.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on the results of strikes by the Ukrainian Defense Forces on military facilities of the Russian aggressor on June 18 and on the night of June 19, 2026. Among the targets hit were railway bridges in the temporarily occupied Crimea, military infrastructure, and the Moscow Oil Refinery.

As reported, the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine struck two fuel facilities in the Rostov region of the Russian Federation on the night of June 18. After the attack, fires broke out at the oil depot and the fuel and lubricants depot.
