Dagestan and Chechnya are among the regions with the highest fuel price increases.

From June 18 to 25, the most significant increases in gasoline prices were recorded in Crimea, Dagestan, Chechnya, and the Ivanovo region. This data was obtained by the Verstka editorial team after analyzing data from the Benzup service.

In Dagestan, the price of AI-92 gasoline increased by 18.6%, reaching 90.9 rubles per liter, placing the republic in second place for the fastest growth rate. Dagestan ranked third for the increase in the price of AI-95 (up 15.9% to 96.3 rubles), and first for the increase in diesel fuel (17%). In Chechnya, the price of AI-92 gasoline increased by 17.3% during the same week. Crimea recorded the largest weekly increase in AI-92 gasoline prices, up 27.2% to 117.1 rubles per liter. AI-95 increased by 21.1% to 118.9 rubles, while diesel fuel rose by 11.6%.

Against these backdrops, official restrictions have been introduced in Dagestan: no more than 20 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel fuel are permitted per purchase. Similar measures have been adopted in Adygea, citing increased demand. In the North Caucasus, fuel sales restrictions are also in effect in Stavropol Krai.

The fuel crisis in Russia's regions arose due to Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries. According to Reuters, strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces led to the shutdown of major refineries in central Russia. As a result, gasoline production by mid-June had fallen by approximately 25% compared to the average daily levels in June 2025.

A Moscow blogger recorded a video apologising after making offensive remarks about Chechens during a livestream. In the video, he is seen kneeling and addressing the Chechen people:
​“I want to sincerely apologise to Chechnya for my words. At the time, I was drunk and said too much, but that is no excuse for my behaviour. I understand that my words could have been perceived as disrespectful to you and to your people, the people of Chechnya. I did not intend to show disrespect, and I sincerely regret what I said. I ask for your forgiveness! I respect you and understand that I should have watched what I said, regardless of the state I was in. This will not happen again on my part,” the blogger said.
