Russia’s war against Ukraine is pushing crude oil prices up. Higher prices will be especially deeply felt by people in rural Alaska, who already pay far more for fuel and food.

Companies and communities that buy fuel in bulk could be locked into a higher fuel price for the rest of the year.

And as fuel prices trend upwards, Poston said customers will be locked in at a higher rate.
