Summary
Russia is experiencing a severe fuel shortage crisis driven by Ukrainian drone strikes that have knocked out a significant portion of its refining capacity. With the war in Ukraine ongoing and agricultural harvesting season underway, the Russian government is scrambling to re-route supplies, maintain price caps, and enforce export bans. Long lines at petrol stations are now common across the country, including in Moscow, with people waiting hours to fill up and some pumps completely dry. Officials have begun rationing fuel as the situation worsens.
