The regional waste operator Oleron+ has suspended garbage collection in four districts of Russia's Zabaikalsky region, citing a fuel shortage.

Waste removal has stopped in the Chernyshevsky, Sretensky, Gazimuro-Zavodsky and Krasnokamensky districts, according to the outlets Kedr and Sibir.Realii.

The company said it would resume the service in full after the situation stabilizes. Oleron+ added that it would collect waste at overflowing sites. Residents were asked to 'treat this situation with understanding.'
