Russian Front-Line Forces Face Catastrophic Fuel Shortages After Refinery Strikes
Reports from July 23, 2026, indicate that Russian military units in occupied Ukraine are facing severe fuel shortages following successful Ukrainian long-range strikes on Russian oil refineries. Soldiers in the Zaporizhzhia and Donbas sectors report that gasoline and diesel rations have been slashed to 20 liters per vehicle per day, forcing troops to transport water and ammunition on foot. The shortage has significantly degraded the mobility of Russian combat vehicles and logistics chains across the front line.
