In the UK, thousands of gas stations have run out of gasoline, the Associated Press reports. The crisis has arisen due to a shortage of truckers who have to deliver fuel.

About two-thirds of the members of the British Association of Gasoline Retailers, which represents the interests of about 5.5 thousand outlets, reported a complete lack of fuel. The remaining third warned that stocks would soon run out. The head of the organization, Brian Madderson, linked the deficit to the "panic" sentiments of buyers. “This country is full of fuel, but it's not in the right place for motorists. It is still in terminals and at refineries, ”the businessman said in a conversation with BBC.
