Russia Is Running Out Of Gasoline Following New Attacks By Ukraine

The shortage has affected at least seven regions of the Russian Federation.

At least seven regions in Russia are once again facing fuel shortages: drivers are waiting in line for hours at gas stations, and authorities are imposing limits on the sale of gasoline and diesel.

Reuters reports this, citing officials and Russian media. The cause is Ukrainian strikes on eight major oil refineries over the past two weeks.

Ukraine sharply intensified its attacks on oil refineries after October 30, when the “energy truce” between Kyiv and Moscow announced by Donald Trump fell through.

Forbes.ua notes that during the latest attack, Ukraine struck an oil refinery in Kirishi, Leningrad Oblast, which is Russia’s second-largest in terms of refining capacity.

In Karelia, gas stations along highways now sell no more than 30 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel per customer, the republic’s head announced on Sunday. The sale of fuel in jerry cans has been completely halted. In Buryatia, Rosneft gas stations in Ulan-Ude have introduced similar limits. Similar restrictions are in effect in the Zabaykalsky and Krasnoyarsk Territories, as well as in the Nizhny Novgorod, Arkhangelsk, and Penza regions.

The attacks are undermining Russia’s ability to produce gasoline and diesel. This threatens not only the domestic market but could also derail the agreement between Putin and Trump on exporting Russian diesel to global markets and the United States.
