Moscow, July 11 (Petra) -- Russian authorities in the Novosibirsk region and the eastern cities of Tomsk and Irkutsk announced on Saturday that public and private sector employees will transition to remote work, alongside measures to reduce private vehicle use, as a regional fuel crisis deepens.

"Due to a severe fuel shortage in eastern Russia and Siberia, many operations in both the public and private sectors have transitioned to remote work," the government of the Novosibirsk region said in a statement. "Temporary restrictions have also been imposed on the volume of fuel sales permitted at filling stations."
