"Remember the old Russian folk practices: buy tin cans for gasoline and store extra fuel in the garage so you can refuel and somehow get by."
Dr. Igor Lipsitz, Doctor of Economic Sciences and Professor, notes that the war has made the Russian economy extremely vulnerable. One of the key blows has been attacks on oil refineries: according to various estimates, the country has already lost between 17% and 20% of its production capacity.
Ukrainian drones are targeting not only refineries but also product pipelines — recently, one of them was disabled near Ryazan. As a result, a fuel shortage is rapidly growing in the market.
