In a number of regions of Russia, the fuel shortage is deepening. Social media is publishing videos of multi-kilometer queues at gas stations, and drivers are complaining about the lack of gasoline and diesel fuel. The corresponding footage was released by the Telegram channel Exilenova+, reports UNN.

The video, in particular, shows long queues at gas stations in Moscow, Sergiyev Posad, Ramenskoye, Oryol, Novgorod regions, Krasnodar Krai, and Buryatia.
Photos from Tula have also been published showing gas stations where gasoline and diesel fuel have run out.
Russians record appeals to Putin due to gasoline shortage
The authors of the publications claim that people are massively recording video appeals, including to the Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, complaining about the fuel crisis. At the same time, the posts note that the situation continues to worsen, and in some regions the shortage is already being called critical.
Experts link the deepening fuel crisis to systematic Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil refining and fuel infrastructure. Such long-range strikes significantly complicate the production and logistics of fuel within the aggressor country.
Earlier, the Ukrainian side repeatedly stated that attacks on the fuel and energy complex facilities of the Russian Federation are aimed at weakening Russia's military potential, as oil refineries and fuel infrastructure support the needs of the occupation army.
