Ozyorsk Residents Protest Soaring Gas Prices as FAS Investigates
Residents of Ozyorsk, Chelyabinsk region, have raised concerns about soaring gasoline prices, with some stations charging up to 71 rubles per liter of AI-95. The local administration has taken action, submitting a complaint to the Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) regarding the high gas prices.
The complaint follows reports of sharp price increases, which have also led to restrictions on gasoline sales at some Ozyorsk stations. These restrictions limit purchases to 15 liters per vehicle. The FAS is now investigating the matter, with potential sanctions looming over gas station owners in Ozyorsk and the Chelyabinsk region. Similar measures have been taken in the Sverdlovsk region, indicating a broader concern over pricing policies in the gas industry.
While specific gas stations under consideration for sanctions remain unnamed, the FAS is actively looking into the situation. Residents can expect updates as the investigation progresses, with the aim of ensuring fair gas prices and preventing market abuse.
