Fuel shortage in Russia: Only 30 liters, but not in the canister

The article reports on fuel shortages in Russia caused by targeted attacks on oil refineries by Ukrainian forces. In cities like Saint Petersburg and Moscow, drivers face limited availability of gasoline, with some stations offering only specific types such as 92 octane or premium fuel. At some locations, only up to 30 liters per tank are available, and there are reports of growing frustration among drivers, including incidents of verbal abuse and physical altercations at gas stations. The situation has led to concerns over fuel quality, as the Russian government plans to temporarily reintroduce Euro 2 fuel standards, which were banned since 2013. Some stations have closed entirely, while others offer alternative fuels like diesel.

Bias read (Center): While the article discusses the impact of Ukrainian military actions on Russia’s energy infrastructure, it does not take a clear ideological stance.
