Leningrad governor Alexander Drozdenko said the regional operational headquarters advised filling stations to sell no more than 30 litres of petrol and 50 litres of diesel per customer, Meduza reported. Meduza said the stated reason was that large vertically integrated oil companies had introduced their own volume limits, and reported that a drone strike on the night of 9 November started a fire at the Kirishinefteorgsintez refinery.
