There's a riot raging in the Russian gas stations

The article reports on escalating conflicts at Russian gas stations across the country, citing Hungarian media sources. These tensions stem from a severe fuel crisis caused by Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil facilities, leading to long wait times and frustration among drivers. Conflicts have escalated to physical altercations, with some incidents involving police intervention and arrests. In Irkutsk, a man was arrested after attempting to cut through a queue and being confronted by a police officer who drew his weapon. In Saint Petersburg, a taxi driver was involved in a confrontation where a gun was pulled. In Kamyensk, two women fought over their position in line, requiring intervention from station staff and other drivers. In a village named Sverdlov, a local resident attempted to manage the queue but became intoxicated and physically assaulted a woman.
