Ukraine Strikes Force Russian Fuel Rationing
Restrictions on gasoline sales have become widespread across at least 20 Russian regions and occupied Ukrainian territories, stemming from Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries. These strikes have significantly disrupted fuel supplies, leading to purchase limits and outright shortages in major cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg, as well as in occupied areas. The Ukrainian campaign has crippled a substantial portion of Russia’s refining capacity, forcing the country to consider further export bans on fuel products.
