Queues at gas stations in Abkhazia have raised questions among commentators on Telegram.

Long queues at gas stations in Abkhazia continue to form, despite the announced fuel supply by the authorities. Commentators noted that the queues are only at those gas stations where gasoline is cheaper.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", on July 30, the authorities of Abkhazia reported that 414 tons of automotive gasoline had arrived in the republic, while the supply of other fuel volumes is expected in early August. After the authorities of Abkhazia reported the gasoline supply, queues still remain at gas stations, fuel is lacking, and its quality remains low, local residents noted on social media.

The Telegram channel "Emergency Abkhazia" published a video of a long queue at the "Rosneft" gas station in Sukhum, filmed in the evening. The price tags at the gas station are not visible in the recording.

This message gathered 9 comments.

"The traffic police need to put an inspector to regulate the queue. Otherwise, there could be bad conflicts," wrote Dmitry A.

"Why are such kilometer-long queues continuing? After all, there was already a gasoline supply," writes Animal Planet.

"Because it is available here and cheaper than at local gas stations, that's all!" replied Alexey Akulin.

"And more specifically? Did you get anything wrong?" asked Marina Ruziyeva.

"And in Abkhazia, at local gas stations, 95 is 95 rubles. Sunflower and Rosneft are slightly cheaper," he pointed out.

"Caucasian Knot" also reported that the fuel crisis in southern Russia has led to an increase in demand for converting cars to gas, resulting in long queues at auto repair shops. Long waiting times force drivers to turn to "gray" installers, who do not guarantee the safety of the equipment, analysts noted.

A mass transition to gas will not solve the fuel shortage problem due to insufficiently developed infrastructure. According to the deputy director general of the National Energy Institute Alexander Frolov, creating it in a short time is impossible. "However, the current crisis is a good reason to remember the programs that already exist but are developing much slower than planned," he explained.
