Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly acknowledged that the country is experiencing fuel shortages, which he attributed to the ongoing Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. During a recent address, he stated that the strikes have created "obvious problems," though he downplayed their severity, calling the situation a "certain deficit." This marks a rare admission from Putin regarding the impact of the conflict on Russia's fuel supply.

As Ukraine continues to launch drone assaults targeting Russian oil refineries, significant damage has occurred, including a major fire at an oil facility in southern Russia. In response to these developments, Putin assured that the Russian government would work to guarantee national security and confront the challenges posed by these strikes. He announced initiatives aimed at enhancing the protection of oil supplies and the establishment of a special task force to ensure fuel availability in light of the situation.

Reports indicate that the fuel shortages have led to an increase in long queues at gas stations, complicating daily life for Russian citizens. The government has declared a state of emergency in certain regions, including Crimea, as it grapples with the consequences of the intensified Ukrainian military actions.
