Residents in Sevastopol are experiencing a critical shortage of liquefied gas for household cylinders, exacerbated by an ongoing fuel crisis and logistical issues. Authorities have made refilling difficult by requiring technical inspections that are virtually impossible to obtain locally. This has led to a dramatic price increase for refilling cylinders and forced some families to cook outdoors. While authorities acknowledge the problem and expect increased supply, the lack of inspection services means many residents cannot access gas, even as neighboring Crimea has relaxed similar requirements.
