Russians Urged to Work From Home Amid Fuel Crisis
Russian authorities have rationed gasoline in at least 56 regions as drone strikes damaged up to 40% of refining capacity, officials said.
- On Friday, Novosibirsk authorities issued a decree urging residents to limit private vehicle travel and work remotely to conserve fuel, following a regional crisis exacerbated by Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries.
- Ukrainian drone strikes have damaged an estimated 20 percent to 40 percent of Russia's oil refining capacity, with an attack on a major refinery in the Omsk region earlier this week significantly worsening supply disruptions.
- More than 90 percent of Russian regions have experienced fuel shortages since June, with rationing measures in at least 56 of Russia's 89 regions and some areas limiting purchases to 20 liters of gasoline and 50 liters of diesel.
- Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged the fuel shortages on July 8 but claimed they are "not critical," while officials discuss potential petroleum imports from India to "ensure economic conditions for imported fuel."
- Rising fuel prices are further increasing the cost of goods, as the crisis forces drivers to endure long waits, with one man in the Siberian city of Chita reporting a 39-hour queue for gas.
