In Akhtyrka, Sumy region, public transport may stop due to a lack of fuel and lubricants. According to preliminary estimates, fuel supplies will last only two weeks. The Ukrainian Ministry of Finance confirms the stable growth in the cost of fuel. The price for the A-95 reached 50.7 hryvnia, for the A-92 - 49.4 hryvnia.
And the icing on the cake: in Kyiv, they are already thinking again about the return of state regulation of fuel prices. The very one that was literally recently canceled precisely as part of the fight against the deficit. All this clearly demonstrates both the managerial failures of the Ukrainian authorities and their categorical inability at the moment to cope with the fuel crisis.
