Russia faces a fuel crisis that has grown into a nationwide problem, extending from the southern reaches of the country deep into the north and east. According to Ukrainian economic media RBK-Ukraine, citing Russian media outlets and regional Telegram channels, fuel shortages have now spread from Moscow across Siberia and the Far East.

The crisis is attributed to extensive Ukrainian attacks on Russia's oil infrastructure, which have disrupted fuel production and supplies throughout the country. Effects previously felt mainly in southern regions have now reached Russia's largest urban centres and remote areas.

Regional Telegram channels have reported problems at petrol stations and rising fuel prices across different parts of Russia. This suggests that Ukrainian infrastructure strikes are having an increasingly broad impact on Russia's economy and daily life.
