  "account": "In the Black Sea resort city of Gelendzhik, Russia, the last station selling gasoline has run out of fuel. As of August 21 morning, only one gas station in the city, a Lukoil station in Arkhipo-Osipovka village, was selling gasoline. However, by the evening, even this station had run out of gasoline, according to iStories, an independent Russian investigative outlet. A hotel clerk next to the Lukoil station confirmed to iStories that the station had no gasoline left. Drivers in the city echoed the same experience in a local chat group they use to share information about fuel availability. Tuapse, another resort city, also faced a similar situation. On the morning of August 21, only one of Tuapse's 14 operating gas stations was selling 95-octane gasoline, and two were selling 92-octane.",
