A critical shortage of petroleum products in the temporarily occupied Crimean peninsula is forcing local car owners to take extreme measures to save fuel. A telling video from Sevastopol has been posted online , clearly demonstrating the scale of the fuel collapse in the city.

As reported by Censor.NET , footage taken by eyewitnesses shows a huge queue at one of the local gas stations.

A street scene featuring several parked cars, with a person leaning into the open door of a white car while another car drives by.

A notable detail in the video is the behavior of the drivers while waiting for their turn at the gas pump. In order not to start their engines and waste scarce gasoline, they push their own cars every time the line starts to move forward a few meters.
