Putin shrugs off fuel shortages in Russia as he ramps up attacks on Ukraine
Putin acknowledged shortages but said they are temporary as government data show gasoline production has fallen 17% and rationing has spread across many regions.
- Russia faces widespread fuel shortages and rationing, forcing Moscow to consider importing gasoline for the first time to stabilize supply amid production declines.
- Ukrainian forces have launched more than 50 attacks on energy facilities since March, reducing national gasoline production by roughly 17% to 850,000 barrels a day.
- Crimea currently faces the worst fuel shortages with individual gasoline sales halted, while Macro-Advisory CEO Chris Weafer estimates one-third of Russia's refining capacity has been cut off.
- In a meeting with government officials, Putin acknowledged the country was going through a "difficult period" and pledged to accelerate energy facility repairs and consider gasoline imports.
- Western analysts report disrupted military logistics and a battlefield stalemate, contradicting Putin's claim that Ukrainian strikes "have absolutely no effect on the situation at the front," as United Nations data shows more than 16,000 Ukrainian civilians have died.
