Ukrainian Infrastructure Strikes Trigger Widespread Fuel Rationing Across Russia
Following sustained Ukrainian long-range strikes against Russian oil refineries, major energy companies including Rosneft and Tatneft have implemented restrictive fuel rationing as of June 17, 2026. Sales of gasoline and diesel are now limited to 30 liters per passenger vehicle in several regions, including Moscow and Chelyabinsk. These shortages, exacerbated by a major drone strike on the Gazprom Neft refinery, have disrupted Russian military logistics and forced the Kremlin to impose seasonal bans on fuel exports.
