Sevastopol goes full post-apocalypse: no fuel, no streetlights, early store closures

Original version ·

So, the occupation authorities in Sevastopol just decided to give locals a sneak peek of the stone age. No fuel for regular people, pitch-black streets, and supermarkets closing early. "Season is going great," they said.

It turns out that "adjusting logistics" is the new official term for "our fuel depots just got absolutely wrecked." After some highly successful nocturnal fireworks courtesy of the Ukrainian military, the local puppet boss, Mikhail Razvozhaev, announced a weekend fuel ban for ordinary citizens. Gas is now strictly for emergency services.

But wait, there's more. The public transport is basically going to sleep at 9 PM, the ferries are canceled, and the streetlights are staying off to "save energy." Supermarkets are wrapping up early too. They basically turned a major coastal city into a dark, quiet village over a single weekend.

The local administration blames "overloaded power grids" and is politely asking everyone to unplug their kettles. Of course, this has absolutely nothing to do with those massive explosions at military oil depots and air defense sites the night before. Pure coincidence.

It is truly fascinating how "Russia is here forever" quickly translates to "please don't use your microwave."

    Wait, no ferries either? How are people supposed to cross the bay? This is going to be an absolute disaster by Monday morning if they don't fix the power grids. Or is this the new normal now?
