== Do you like driving a gasoline powered car? Don't move to Russia! ==
Please see: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4ithGfCWB0 UKRAINE'S Strategy Just Broke The Russian Economy… THIS Is Brutal]
=== Concise takeaway ===
There is a severe, nationwide Russian fuel crisis in 2026 caused by relentless Ukrainian long‑range drone strikes on Russian oil refineries. These strikes have knocked out over half of Russia’s refining capacity, triggering mass gasoline shortages, kilometer‑long queues, public brawls, regional protests, and Kremlin crackdowns—all while Putin publicly downplays the crisis and travels abroad eating caviar.
=== How Ukraine Created the Crisis ===
Ukraine’s drone campaign has become strategically devastating:
54% of Russia’s refining capacity damaged (“damaged refineries now account for 54% of total national refining capacity”).
Daily output far below demand, producing 35% less gasoline than Russians need.
Refineries repeatedly struck, preventing repairs—Ryazan, Volgograd, Saratov, Omsk, Perm, and Novokuibyshevsk are highlighted.
Record‑distance strikes: a 2,500 km hit on Omsk and 1,500 km strike on Perm.
This has pushed Russian refining to a 24‑year low, worse than anything since 2002.
===⛽ What Russians Are Experiencing ===
Gasoline availability has collapsed:
Only 28% of stations nationwide have fuel (“gasoline was now available at only 28% of Russia’s fuel stations”).
Moscow stations impose 40–60 liter limits; other regions restrict drivers to 30 liters.
Crimea has “practically no gasoline left.”
Some regions ration fuel by odd/even license plate days.
Queues stretch up to a kilometer, with people waiting hours only to find pumps empty. Fights break out in lines as frustration boils over.
=== 🧨 Social Breakdown & Kremlin Repression ===
The Kremlin responds not with solutions, but with arrests:
Five people in Volgograd arrested for filming a video appeal (“five people filming a video… branded an ‘unauthorized public gathering’”).
A man in Perm fined $120 for merely mentioning a protest on a Telegram channel with 44 followers.
The government insists fuel is “available everywhere,” contradicting visible reality.
Meanwhile, Putin tours the Kuril Islands and tastes caviar while the crisis worsens.
===🛢 Russia Turns Into a Desperate Fuel Importer ====
Unable to meet domestic demand, Russia is forced to import fuel:
Belarus sends record shipments (212,000 tons gasoline; 162,000 tons diesel).
Kazakhstan provides 50,000 tons of AI‑92 gasoline.
Morocco becomes a first‑time fuel exporter to Russia.
India refines Russian crude and sells fuel back to Russia—meaning Russia loses tax revenue intended for the war effort.
Belarus’s refinery will soon go offline for maintenance, worsening shortages.
===⚡ Dagestan Protests Show a Possible Future ====
Power outages in Dagestan triggered large protests, barricades, and eventually forced authorities to restore electricity faster. The transcript suggests this may inspire other regions suffering fuel shortages to protest as well.
====🧭 Final Point ===
The video argues that Ukraine has taken away “the one thing that made Russia great”—its abundant fuel—and that Putin’s war has created a crisis he cannot fix. The narrator suggests that widespread unrest may soon follow, especially as Ukraine continues battlefield advances.
