The cost of fuel at gas stations in the DPR decreased by one more ruble

DONETSK, September 20 — PRIME. The cost of fuel at state-owned filling stations in the Donetsk People’s Republic has dropped by another ruble, DPR Prime Minister Vitaly Khotsenko said on Tuesday.

“I went around the gas station. There is gasoline, stocks are made. The price at gas stations owned by a state-owned enterprise was reduced by another ruble. The situation was stabilized. I instructed the DPR Ministry of Coal and Energy to report the situation regularly,” he wrote in his Telegram channel.

The prime minister of the DPR attached photos with gasoline prices to the post. The price of AI-92 gasoline was 41 rubles per liter, and the cost of AI-95 was 46 rubles per liter. Diesel fuel in the republic costs 57 rubles per liter.

Earlier, Khotsenko said that there was a slight shortage of fuel at gas stations in the republic due to the shelling of oil storage facilities by Ukrainian troops. In particular, at many filling stations fuel was dispensed only on coupons and for transport of state organizations. In turn, the head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that he had instructed the Ministry of Emergency Situations to organize round-the-clock unloading of fuel and its delivery to gas stations in the DPR. Later, DPR Minister of Coal and Energy Andrey Chertkov said that the shortage of fuel in the republic is planned to be eliminated within a week.
