Is this normal in Russia
> In Primorsky Krai, queues stretch for kilometers. In Zabaikalsky, fuel’s only sold by coupons. Even Crimea’s running low.
I was informed by pro-Russians that this only happened in one single village in Siberia and it ended two days later but now there are and more videos of huge waiting lines and stations not selling regular gas. How did it come to this?

>>513544898 (OP)
never seen this happen once here. Isn't Russia supposed to be self-sufficient in fuel?

>>513544960
Their refineries have been getting hit hard lately.

>>513545114
Russians in /chug/ informed me that attacks on their refineries are fixed in few days and it costs more for Ukraine to attack them than Russia loses from repairing those

OH MY GOD THERE ARE LIKE 20 CARS THAT CANT FUEL UP!
RUSSIA IS FINISHED!!!
>(ukraine lost 1.7 million retards btw.)

they say lots of stuff they don't actually believe

Some of the gas stations there are giving away Labubu to random customers. So everyone is queuing up so they don't miss their chance.
Pretty brilliant marketing move tbqfhh

See?

>>513545349
in Crimea stations don't sell regular gas at all. Can you explain how this can happen in autarky Russia?

>>513545561
>crimea has only 1 gas station
lmao hohol nafo homo retards are funny

>>513545681
who said such problems exist on only one station?

>>513545561
Whats up Taras? Seething over Odessa fuel depot being destroyed? 2 villages in Russia have had logistical problems with fuel. Russia is finished Kel

Video?

>>513545114
Primorsky Krai is in the far east

Ukraine has been attacking Russian refineries for two years, and there's not much evidence it's had much effect

>>513545838

WHOLE SINGLE FUEL DEPOT? Wow

>>513546015
Besides the collapse of fuel exports you mean?

>>513545114
I will add that one day after Kennedy's article was published, Bloomberg published an article with data that showed that Russian refined product export volumes in early August were at a record high since the start of the war

>>513546160
What collapse in fuel exports?

I already showed the data for gasoil / diesel fuel. Here is the data for fuel oil.

>>513546312
Your graph measures by value in euros. That has gone down because of lower prices. I was talking about shipment volumes.

Doesnt look that bad

Yes, they have been restricting exports of petrol, starting back in 2023. That was to avoid the dampen the effect of currency fluctuations of the ruble causing prices at the pump to swing wildly, which would have caused popular discontent. But petrol is just one of many types of refined product.

Fuel is an internationally traded commodity. The collapse of the collapse of the ruble obviously caused prices denominated in rubles to soar. The Russian government tried to slow and dampen that effect somewhat with export restrictions, but it is obviously not realistic to keep people completely insulated forever.

I have posted the volume data. Here is data for naphtha, which is another type of refined product. It went down a bit at the start of the war, but not due to the drone strikes, those only began in 2023.

>>513544898 (OP)
You people always fuck your shit up and introduce scarcity

>>513547118
>clear decline from 2022 numbers
why are you posting graph that show that Russia exports less fuels after Ukraine started attacking refineries than before that? Are you trying to shoot your own arguments in the foot?

>>513546814
As far as I understand it, all these products come from the same distillation column, so obviously those are still operational.

Note that the total sum of fuel shipped is at a record high for the war. Fuel oil is up in August because fuel oil is up, not because other products are significantly down, at least not any exported product.
>>513546235

>>513547415
Because the attacks on Russian refineries began in 2023 in earnest

Exports declined in 2022 and then have held steady. The probable explanation for this is that demand for naphtha decreased because European petrochemical plants would no longer buy Russian naphtha. As mentioned before, the total export volume of all types of refined products is at a record high since the war began. If Ukrainian drone attacks caused meaningful and lasting damage, you would expect to see a continuous decline in export volumes

Correction: I misread the article. Total refined product export volume was not at a record high in August, only fuel oil was. The total refined product volume was the highest since February
