## Prediction

Within 24 hours, the halt in civilian fuel sales across Crimea is likely to generate acute problems for civilian mobility, emergency medical transport, and supply of perishable goods. Households will conserve remaining fuel, reduce travel, and face longer emergency response times, while smaller businesses and farms see rapid disruption of operations. If maintained, this will heighten local resentment toward occupation authorities and could drive informal black-market fuel trade. Confirmation would be reports of ambulance delays, reduced public transport schedules, and social media evidence of fuel queues or price spikes in informal markets; denial would be quick introduction of rationed but resumed civilian fuel sales.

## Drivers

- Official suspension of all fuel sales to public and businesses, reserving fuel for emergency and security services
- Repeated alerts emphasizing peninsula-wide halt in civilian fuel sales
- Dependence of Crimea’s dispersed settlements on road fuel for basic services
