"Stinksauer" - DW users about life in Russia

The article discusses the growing fuel shortage in Russia and its impact on daily life, citing reports from Russian polling institutes like VCIOM, FOM, and Levada Center showing declining public mood. It highlights personal accounts from DW users describing long queues at gas stations and difficulty accessing fuel, with some having to abandon their cars. The situation is attributed to Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries, leading to reduced refining capacity by nearly a third. Despite government efforts such as export bans and increased imports, the problem persists, with fuel prices rising by 7.4% this year, higher than the overall inflation rate. The Kremlin maintains that the situation remains stable.
