Reports in Russian media describe growing queues at gas stations, local supply disruptions, and quantitative restrictions on gasoline and diesel sales in several regions of the country. The Russian Fuel Union has denied reports of a fuel shortage specifically in Moscow, according to local media. These measures appear to be a widening of the fuel supply difficulties that have been reported across Russia in recent weeks, following Ukrainian strikes on refineries and other energy infrastructure. The situation in Crimea and the Donbas was reported as particularly severe as early as early June, with the governor of Sevastopol attributing severe disruptions to Ukrainian drone attacks preventing truck deliveries. The current restrictions cover a broader geographic scope but specifics on which regions are affected remain unclear from these reports.
