Crimean authorities have pledged to deliver AI-95 gasoline on a daily basis at a reduced price, according to a report by the Russian news agency Интерфакс. The announcement, made on Tuesday, September 1, 2026, follows the rollout of the first batch of subsidized fuel sold at 100 rubles per liter, as reported by ВФокусе Mail.
The price cap was confirmed by regional leader Sergey Aksyonov, who stated that from September 1, the cost of AI-95 in Crimea would not exceed 100 rubles per liter, according to Национальная Служба Новостей. The move is intended to ease fuel costs for residents and visitors in the region, which has seen sharp price fluctuations in recent weeks.
TourDom reported that the price of AI-95 in Crimea has dropped sharply as a result of the subsidy program. However, not all reports are positive. Крым.Реалии noted that, contrary to Aksyonov's promises, some gas stations in the region have run out of fuel entirely. The outlet did not specify the extent of the shortages or which areas were affected.
The daily supply commitment from authorities appears designed to address both price and availability concerns. The subsidy mechanism, which brings the fuel price down to 100 rubles per liter, is now in its early implementation phase, with the first batch already sold, according to ВФокусе Mail.
Observers will be watching whether the promised daily deliveries can keep pace with demand and whether the price cap holds across all retail points in the region. The discrepancy between official assurances and reports of empty pumps suggests that logistics remain a key challenge in the coming days.
