One told the opposite: \u2018So it’s best to have stayed [in the queue].<\/p>\n

\u2018Why the f*** you left [the queue], there’s a queue, you dumb ass.\u2019<\/p>\n

The row descended into chaos as one woman said \u2018go f*** yourself\u2019 just for the opposite to threaten to hit them \u2018in your f***ing face now\u2019.<\/p>\n

He conceded Ukrainian air strikes on infrastructure had caused \u2018problems\u2019 for motorists and businesses, but insisted fuel reserves were only 4 per cent down on last 12 months.<\/p>\n

\u2018Unfortunately, there are also queues at [filling] stations, and it\u2019s not all the time possible to seek out the fitting form of gasoline\u2019, he said.<\/p>\n

\u2018And, after all, we understand the difficulties faced by agricultural producers and farms in the summertime period.\u2019<\/p>\n

The president pledged to extend supplies, including by sea to Crimea which has almost run dry, after land routes were disrupted by Ukrainian forces.<\/p>\n
