Politico reports that a wave of Ukrainian drone strikes on oil refineries deep inside Russia has left the country running low on petrol.
Ukraine’s intensified offensive against Russia’s oil infrastructure to disrupt fuel supplies to the Russian military and reduce the Kremlin’s war-funding revenues from petroleum exports.
On 1 May Russian Telegram channel Astra reported that Ryazan refinery in Russia was attacked by UAV drones, causing a fire at the plant.
According to Politico, “Diesel prices for Russian consumers have skyrocketed, rising almost 10 percent in the past week alone, according to the government’s figures.” It also states that “Petrol costs have also hit a six-month high, up more than 20 percent from the start of the year as supply tightens and more and more facilities are forced to suspend production.”
