Kremlin Struggles to Address Gasoline Shortages Amid Ongoing Conflict
Ukraine’s long- and intermediate-range strike campaigns against Russian energy and logistics infrastructure are causing significant effects on Russia’s economy and military operations, according to the Institute for the Study of War. The strikes have resulted in severe gasoline shortages across Russia and occupied Ukraine, with the Kremlin implementing temporary measures to address the issue. However, these efforts may not be enough to fully address the shortages, which could continue to impact Russia’s ability to sustain its military efforts in Ukraine. The conflict was first reported by the Institute for the Study of War.
