Russia’s fuel crisis spreads to nearly all regions as Ukraine targets refineries

MOSCOW — Almost every one of Russia’s 83 regions is now facing gasoline shortages or supply disruptions, according to a CNN analysis. Many gas stations have started rationing fuel as the government struggles to respond to a wave of Ukrainian drone attacks on its oil refineries. The crisis first emerged in Russian-controlled Crimea but has now spread across the country. Ukraine has intensified its drone strikes, targeting facilities that produce and store fuel. The attacks have disrupted supply chains, forcing stations to limit how much gasoline each driver can buy. Russian authorities are racing to stabilize the market, but the situation remains tense. The fuel shortages are affecting daily life and raising concerns about the economy.
