More than 40 cars have been reported lined up in front of gas station in the town of Bakhchysarai, Crimea, as the so-called head of the Republic of Crimea Sergei Aksyonov earlier accused members of the oil market of the creation of artificial fuel boom, Russian Dozhd TV channel reports.
It is noted that following Aksyonov's statement the major Crimean oil traders signed an agreement with the "government" on the retention of fuel prices for the period of state of emergency.
"During an emergency situation, due to the limited supply of electricity in the Republic of Crimea, it is forbidden to increase retail prices for motor fuel," the document says.
