According to the report, Russians are experiencing a shortage of fuel and high energy prices as Ukrainian drone strikes on the country’s energy infrastructure have reduced the output of oil refineries. The fuel shortage that first started in Ukraine’s occupied territories has now spread across wider Russian regions. Amid this shortage, residents are forced to wait in long queues to purchase fuel. There is a shortage of some fuel grades, and rationing has been introduced for the purchase of fuel in some parts of the country. In Russian-held Crimean Peninsula, many gas stations have now been shut down, and those still operating sell only diesel; waiting outside a gas station in Sovetskaya Gavan town in Russia’s Khabarovsk region in the Eastern Federal District.

The report also said that there is a shortage of 95 octane gasoline, and only 92 octane is available at gas stations in the region. According to reports, 95 octane gasoline is not sold to individuals, and only 30 liters of 92 octane gasoline are sold per car. Residents have reported that it is impossible to travel to Khabarovsk or Komsomolsk-on-Amur, as the nearest gas stations are hundreds of kilometers away. Moreover, gasoline prices have gone up dramatically. Although social media platforms are abundant with reports of fuel shortage, officials prefer not to comment on this growing problem. Ukrainian army units have been continually sharing video footage of their attacks on Russia’s energy infrastructure. These attacks include missile and drone strikes on oil refineries, oil pipelines, oil pumping stations, and trains transporting oil, and are aimed at undermining Russia’s war efforts.
