Russia is grappling with a significant oil supply crisis, a consequence of Ukrainian strikes targeting its refining facilities, storage depots, and logistical networks. The attacks have severely disrupted the domestic supply chain, prompting the Russian government to implement nationwide restrictions on gasoline sales.

Several regions have resorted to rationing fuel, while numerous gas stations and operators have been forced to halt sales or cease operations entirely due to the escalating shortages. This situation poses a considerable challenge for Russia, one of the world's largest oil producers, as it struggles to maintain stable domestic fuel availability amidst the ongoing conflict.

The crisis highlights the vulnerability of Russia's energy infrastructure to targeted attacks and underscores the broader economic and logistical impacts of the conflict on the nation's resources.
