In the Ukrainian information space, including popular Telegram channels and media outlets, reports have spread about the introduction of strict restrictions on fuel sales. According to these reports, gas stations allegedly dispensed no more than 100 liters of fuel per person. Specifically, it was claimed that the OKKO network was the first to introduce such limits on diesel fuel due to fears of stock depletion.
However, this information turned out to be false. An official representative of the OKKO network, commenting on the situation on Facebook, refuted the news about restrictions on refueling vehicles. The company emphasized that there are no limits on servicing vehicles.
The situation regarding the figure "100 liters" has its own explanation. Indeed, the company has set a limit on the sale of fuel in jerry cans. This restriction is aimed at preventing speculation and illegal trafficking of fuel, but it does not apply to refueling vehicle tanks. Customers can fill their cars to full capacity without fear of artificial restrictions.
The real situation in the market
Although rumors about a ban on refueling turned out to be baseless, problems in Ukraine's fuel sector remain relevant. As reported by RBC-Ukraine, the cost of gasoline and diesel continues to rise. This is due to a complex set of economic factors that have already noticeably hit motorists' wallets.
In addition to economic difficulties, the fuel infrastructure faces security threats. Due to constant shelling in frontline and other regions, gas station owners are forced to strengthen the protection of their facilities. In recent months, it has become standard practice to install concrete slabs and barricades made of sandbags around gas stations to protect against possible attacks.
Representatives of the OKKO network urge citizens to rely only on verified information and not to spread unreliable messages that could provoke panic and unjustified panic buying.
