Russia faces severe fuel shortage as stations run dry of gasoline and diesel
A large portion of Russian fuel stations are out of both gasoline and diesel, creating long queues, strict rationing and vehicle problems.
The shortage, linked to Ukraine's attacks on Russia's oil sector, has left over one in four stations without fuel. Authorities are fining social-media complaints, while drivers endure hour-long lines and strict gasoline and diesel limits. Poor-quality fuel is also causing engine failures, worsening logistics for motorists and transport companies.
Why it matters
Fuel shortages disrupt daily life and commerce, affecting both Russian citizens and broader regional supply chains.
