## Resource

Russia’s fuel crisis is hitting hard as drivers face hours-long waits at gas stations, with many regions left stranded due to a collapse in refining capacity—caused by Ukraine’s strikes on oil depots. The Kremlin downplays the chaos, blaming Ukraine for panic, but citizens are feeling the pinch, especially in vast, car-dependent areas. While Moscow shows early signs of relief, the damage to Russia’s energy infrastructure remains a stark reminder of how deeply the war is disrupting daily life.
