What happened
Fuel shortages began in Crimea following Ukrainian attacks on its supply lines. These shortages have since spread to mainland Russia, including Siberia, as refineries across the country have been forced to shut down for lengthy repairs due to escalating attacks on Russian oil infrastructure. In response to the crisis, Russian officials stated they were exploring the import of oil from other countries.

Why it matters
The disruption to the fuel supply chain in Crimea and mainland Russia is forcing the nation to seek international oil imports to sustain operations. This situation highlights the impact of military action on critical energy supply and domestic logistics.
Ukrainian drones successfully targeted Russian oil refinery in Moscow, a logistics facility in Krasnodar, and fuel infrastructure in Crimea.
