Fuel Rationing Imposed in Moscow After Ukrainian Drone Strikes Disrupt Russian Oil Refining Capacity
By
Cyril Barabaltchouk
Summary
A sustained Ukrainian drone strike campaign targeting Russian oil infrastructure has significantly reduced domestic refining capacity, leading to gasoline shortages and fuel rationing even in Moscow. At least 40 successful strikes since the start of the year have disrupted facilities supplying the capital, with the Gazprom Neft Moscow Refinery—which supplies up to 40% of Moscow's fuel—halting operations on June 16. The compounding damage has caused supply constraints and price increases in the capital region.
