143-kilometer route to Kharkiv without refueling: Russia destroys all stations

Russian troops have systematically destroyed all fuel stations along the 143-kilometer route connecting Poltava and Kharkiv in northeastern Ukraine, according to Oleksandr Skoryk, a deputy in the Kharkiv regional council. The destruction renders the route impassable for vehicles without their own fuel supply.

Skoryk appealed to drivers planning to travel between the two cities to ensure they carry sufficient fuel reserves. He stated that "all fuel stations on the route (...) from Kharkiv to Poltava have been completely destroyed."

Despite the significant damage to fuel infrastructure, Skoryk asserted that the situation does not constitute a crisis. He reported that "over 200 fuel stations have been destroyed in Ukraine, with more than 80 in Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region." He added, "But there is no crisis. We live, we fight, we wage war."
