Ukraine’s Drone Attacks Cripple Russian Fuel Supply, Sparking Crisis in Over Half of Regions
The fuel crisis gripping Russia has spread to over half of its administrative regions, stemming from escalated Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries, which have significantly reduced refining capacity. The Far East and occupied Crimea have been the hardest hit, with rationing and severe shortages, while central regions experience disruptions. The Russian government has downplayed the crisis, attributing it to logistical issues, and has responded by banning fuel exports and seeking support from Belarus and China. Experts predict the duration of the crisis depends on the frequency of future attacks on refineries, with hundreds of gas stations already closed across the country.
