Russia Faces Growing Fuel Crunch as Ukrainian Strikes Knock Out Refineries

Russia is grappling with severe fuel shortages across the country, affecting at least 17 regions with mandatory fuel restrictions and more facing supply issues. This crisis is largely due to Ukrainian drone attacks targeting key oil infrastructure, including refineries and pipelines. The Kapotnya refinery, a major supplier to Moscow, has been hit twice this month, exacerbating the problem. This situation underscores the vulnerabilities in Russia's energy supply chain and could have broader economic implications, affecting everything from transportation to industrial production.
