"Temporary restrictions on fuel supply are adjusting the usual model for refueling transport vehicles used in goods delivery, but they do not affect the availability and accessibility of goods," said Mr. Alikhankov (quote from TASS). This was stated by Anton Alikhankov, head of Russia's Ministry of Industry and Trade, to journalists.
Consensus
- Temporary fuel supply restrictions were introduced in several Russian regions.
- These restrictions have not led to a shortage of goods in stores.
- The measures only affect the logistics of transporters, not product availability on store shelves.
- The Ministry of Industry and Trade is monitoring prices on socially significant goods.
- No warning signals about price increases due to fuel issues were reported at the time of the statements.
- Vice Prime Minister Alexander Novak instructed relevant agencies to continue daily monitoring of the fuel market and take measures to prevent local supply disruptions.
