## Resource

Crimea’s fuel supply has collapsed as governor Sergey Aksyonov halts civilian gasoline sales, leaving motorists stranded and social media ablaze with desperate searches for gas. The move follows Ukrainian strikes that killed four and wounded 28, with authorities restricting fuel to only essential government operations. This marks the worst energy crisis since Russia’s 2014 annexation, part of Ukraine’s broader strategy to cripple Russian energy infrastructure — dubbed “long-range sanctions” by President Zelenskyy. Meanwhile, Russian officials report drone strikes on oil terminals and a ferry attack that killed one, underscoring the escalating toll on energy resources. The Kremlin vows to fix the crisis, but Ukraine’s ability to disrupt Russian fuel networks signals a new front in the war — even as Russian ground advances stall.
