Ukrainian strikes on Russian refineries fuel shortages, queues and rationing in 53 regions

Ukrainian drone and missile strikes on multiple Russian oil refineries have tightened fuel supplies, with long queues and rationing measures introduced across 53 regions. The Moscow Oil Refinery was hit twice within two weeks, leaving more than 90% of its crude-processing capacity offline. The International Energy Agency put Russia’s lost refining capacity at about 20%, the most severe disruption since the conflict began. Some areas cap purchases at 20–50 litres per car, and Crimea has introduced a QR-code rationing system.
