Ukrainian attacks have caused fuel shortages to spread from Russian-annexed Crimea to nearby parts of southern Russia, and even to the capital Moscow, which has previously been spared, residents say. Motorists in nearly all of Russia are limited in the amount of fuel they can now buy, with particularly severe restrictions imposed in all of Russian occupied Ukraine, much of southern Russia and Siberia.
Only Moscow and a handful of mainly remote regions have no formal restrictions, although even in the capital some filling stations are shut and others have long queues.
