1/ Russian soldiers say that the army isn't issuing them with fuel for combat operations. They are trying to buy it with their own money but are struggling to obtain it in Donetsk because only coupons are now being accepted as payment, due to the ongoing fuel shortages. ⬇️

2/ In a series of short videos filmed at an RTK gas station in Donetsk city, a man records a gas station attendant refusing his request to buy 120 litre of gasoline, despite his pleas of military necessity and people outside selling gasoline illicitly for cash:

3/ "– Well, that requires permission. That's prohibited.

– Look, this is needed for the soldiers, for combat missions, for evacuees, for the evacuation of the wounded... [I need] 120 liters of gasoline."

4/ "– I can't give you fuel that I don't have. I have some fuel left, but you can [only] have it ... by coupons, by order of the gas station management."

5/ "– Just now, cars were parked for money, selling gasoline for money, from the people who sold gasoline at the gas station for money..."

6/ The man leaves the gas station and records a second video, denouncing the operators and the drivers openly selling illicitly acquired fuel for cash: "In short, there's funny stuff going on everywhere. With vouchers. With vouchers, for money."

7/ "It would be better if they sold it for money, but instead they use vouchers. What kind of joke is this? ... Nothing is more important than the lives of soldiers. It's the same bullshit that's going on. What do you mean? Some kind of nonsense is going on."

8/ In a third video, he shows how the cost of fuel has soared in recent weeks. "Basically, it's some kind of money-making scheme. 98, 78, 95, 92 are gone. Some fucking bullshit is going on. Basically, someone's fucking raising prices and making money off of this." /end
