Second Wave of Fuel Shortages Sweeps Across Russia’s Gas Stations

Reuters reports Russia has entered a second wave of fuel shortages after earlier disruptions eased. The problems have led local authorities in at least ten regions to tighten fuel sales, with some gas stations in the Moscow region again running out of gasoline even as diesel remains more widely available. The shortages are linked to renewed Ukrainian drone attacks that forced shutdowns or disruptions at refineries, adding to seasonal demand increases. Restrictions vary by region, with many customers facing limits on how much they can buy.
