Russia is experiencing a rapidly escalating fuel crisis, with gasoline prices surging at the fastest rate in two decades, according to Rosstat data. The situation has prompted Russia to request 50,000 tons of gasoline from Kazakhstan to address domestic shortages. A key factor is the shutdown of a major Moscow-area oil refinery following a series of Ukrainian drone attacks. These attacks have significantly disrupted Russia’s refining capacity. The airline Azimut has reported a critical shortage of aviation fuel, highlighting the broad impact of the crisis. The fuel shortages and price increases are causing significant concern for both consumers and industries within Russia.
