  "account": "The Leningrad region's administrative center has proposed limiting gas stations to sell a maximum of 30 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel per customer, according to Governor Alexander Drozdenko. Drozdenko explained that this measure was taken due to major vertically integrated oil companies implementing sale volume restrictions. The objective of these restrictions, he noted, is to deter panic buying following the Ukrainian drone strike on the Leningrad region overnight on November 9, resulting in one fatality. The assault ignited a fire at the Kirishinefteorgsintez oil refinery, operated by Surgutneftegas, one of Russia's largest refineries. Russia had experienced multiple fuel crises in 2026 due to Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil facilities.",
  "summary": "The Leningrad region’s operational headquarters has recommended that gas stations limit fuel sales to 30 liters (7.9 gallons) of gasoline and 50 liters (13.2 gallons) of diesel fuel per customer, Leningrad Governor Alexander Drozdenko said.",
