Petrol stations in Russia's Zabaykalsky region end fuel restrictions

Petrol stations operated by the Kors and BRK chains in Russia's Zabaykalsky region will begin selling fuel to the public without restrictions, Regional Governor Alexander Osipov has announced.

In a post on Telegram, he said starting July 22, the two fuel station networks would offer unrestricted, round-the-clock fuel sales, Caliber.Az reports.

The day before, Kors and BRK stations increased the purchase limit to 20 litres per vehicle.

Fuel restrictions were first introduced in the region on June 25, when authorities declared a state of heightened alert.
