MOSCOW, July 29 (RIA Novosti) - Militants of the Ukrainian radical organization the Right Sector blocked off several gas stations in Ivano-Frankivsk, demanding from Russian oil company Lukoil 2.5-3 tons of fuel per month for the Ukrainian army, OSCE stated in report Monday.

“In one petrol station in Ivano-Frankivsk the Special Monitoring Mission was informed that Right Sector members had been blocking the station for three or four days,” the report stated. Another gas station had only been blocked for a couple of hours, in accordance with the report.

According to OSCE, Right Sector representatives told the staff at the petrol stations that “it would continue to block Lukoil until the company met their demands, or closed their businesses in Ukraine.”

The members of the Right Sector movement were among those who clashed with police and seized administrative buildings in Ukraine in January. They were also the ones implicated in the fire in Odessa where at least 48 people died and over 200 were injured. Moscow has repeatedly called on Kiev to disarm the Right Sector.
