60 people died as a result of an airstrike on a school in Bilogorivka, Luhansk region.

*** Iryna Vereshchuk said yesterday that it was possible to evacuate all civilians from Azovstal - women, children and the elderly.

**** At night, the Russians shelled the Luhansk region. Four houses were damaged in Rubizhny, nine in Severodonetsk, two in Lisichansk.

 OKKO gas station, there is fuel, but not for everyone, so the prices are indicated by zeros. There it is possible to refuel special transport, - police, ambulance, buses, or corporate customers who have special cards.

     Ukrnafta gas station. There is no fuel at all, so prices are not shown even at zeros. 

    Today, the government announced that fuel prices cannot be higher than 37-40 hryvnias per liter, but people say that at some gas stations it is possible to fill up a car at a price of 60-70 hryvnias/liter ($1US = 29UAH), but you need to know where these gas stations are located.

    Called to the "Olas" gas station. Earlier they've said that gasoline might be available this afternoon. Today they informed that there will be no gasoline. It is unknown when it will appear.

      *** The Russians fired missiles at the eastern regions of Ukraine. Odessa was heavily bombed. Air alarms throughout the country.

 The problems with gasoline will continue for two to three months, and not for a couple of weeks, as the authorities assure. I think so.

 Today I've monitored online gas stations in internet where is possible to buy gasoline for money, not for special coupons. It is possible to do with gas stations of the "Olas" network. I've called to our town gas station and asked is it possible to refuel the car? They replied that they don't have gasoline now, but it might be available on Saturday, in the afternoon.

A line of cars before the OKKO gas station

The price is shown as zero. It is means there is no gasoline at the station, but line of cars is very long.

 It was always unclear to me how the soldiers of the "Azov" regiment could fight in a complete siege for two months?

       Today I saw an interview of one of the leading managers of the "Azovstal" plant from Mariupol. He said that the plant was built in the times of the Soviet Union, during the Cold War, and a system of underground storage facilities was built there for the plant's workers. After the annexation of Crimea, the local authorities and the management of the plant decided to renew the protective bomb shelters. Air ventilation and water supply systems were renewed. Food warehouses were also replenished to feed 10,000 people for two weeks, i.e. all the plant's worker.

     At the beginning of the encirclement, civilians with children joined the soldiers. Everyone had three meals a day. Now, at the end of the siege and complete encirclement, three meals a day were left only for the children. Soldiers and adult civilians have one meal a day only.

 I got to the Ukrnafta gas station by bicycle. I wanted to find out from them on the spot when, on which day and time it is better to drive up to refuel the car and not drive in vain? They explained to me that it is impossible to refuel the car for money. They sell gasoline only with special coupons, which can be bought only at the office of the Ukrnafta company in Rivne.

*** In the evening, the Russians launched a missile attack on Odesa. Later, conflicting information about the victims appeared. The regional military administration reported that a 13-year-old girl was killed, while the press center of the defense forces said that a 15-year-old boy was killed and a minor girl was hospitalized.

 I planned to refuel the car in the morning, but there was no fuel at the gas stations. At the "Ukrnafta" gas station, where I always fill up, everything is zero. Only diesel fuel was sold at the OKKO gas station at UAH 42.50/liter. Neighbor Slavik said that they sold only 5 liters of disel per car. It was necessary to pay only by bank card. Diesel fuel was not sold for cash at all. 10 liters of disel could be purchased if you paid with a branded OKKO gas station card.

        In the TV news yesterday, the owner of a gas station chain said that the government has introduced a limit on the price of gasoline at no more than UAH 40/liter. But the cost price of gasoline is now UAH 45/liter, so no one will sell fuel at a loss.

*** About 100 women and children were evacuated from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. It is reported that the evacuation will continue tomorrow. The military is informed that approximately 500 people and wounded soldiers must be evacuated.
