Gasoline prices in Dagestan and Chechnya hit record highs

Fuel prices in Dagestan and Chechnya rose sharply in September, making these regions among the worst-rated regions for this indicator. According to Rosstat, gasoline prices increased by almost 14.7% in Dagestan and by 16% in Chechnya.

In Dagestan, the average price per liter of gasoline was 70.4 rubles, while in Chechnya it was 69.3 rubles.

Gasoline shortages continue to mount in Russia, affecting an increasing number of regions. Official authorities attribute the fuel shortage to seasonal factors such as increased tourism and agricultural work. However, some observers believe the real cause is the increasing frequency of drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, which authorities prefer to remain silent about. In August alone, four oil refineries in southern Russia were damaged by such attacks.
