Russia faces fuel shortages and public unrest after Ukrainian drone strikes
Ukrainian drones have struck Russian oil refineries and warehouses of the e‑commerce giant Wildberries, disabling 20‑40% of the country's refining capacity. The attacks have triggered nationwide fuel shortages, long queues at gas stations and rationing of 40 litres per vehicle, prompting the government to extend export bans on diesel and gasoline until 2027.
The disruption has driven sharp price increases for many consumer goods and heightened public frustration. Surveys cited by ABC News indicate a rise in antidepressant use and alcohol consumption among Russians, while President Vladimir Putin’s approval rating has fallen to its lowest level since the invasion began. A woman identified as “Swietłana” voiced a call for a change of government, reflecting growing discontent across the population.
