Russia's war in Ukraine is increasingly being felt far beyond the battlefield. Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries are now disrupting fuel supplies across the country, leaving some motorists waiting up to 13 hours at petrol stations and prompting emergency rationing in several regions.
The shortages have also led to reports of confrontations at filling stations as frustrated drivers compete for limited supplies. While the Kremlin insists the situation remains manageable, President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged that attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure are creating 'problems' for motorists and businesses.
