In a recent address, Russian President Vladimir Putin admitted that the country is facing significant fuel shortages, primarily attributed to ongoing Ukrainian drone strikes on its refineries. He outlined the dire situation, stating that these attacks have resulted in a notable deficit of oil and gas supplies. Reports indicate long queues at gas stations in Moscow, with tensions escalating as some individuals attempt to resell gasoline at inflated prices. To address the crisis, a task force has been established to stabilize fuel distribution and consider a ban on diesel exports. As the conflict continues, the Kremlin is also assessing the feasibility of importing fuel and is dealing with growing unrest among citizens affected by the shortages.
