Russian officials and retailers reintroduce limits and rationing of petrol supplies as Ukraine carries out renewed strikes on oil refineries. Multiple outlets report that restrictions are introduced at gas stations in several regions, with motorists facing caps on how much fuel they can buy.
The measures are framed as a response to damage and heightened risk to refinery output. Financial Times and Semafor specify that the rationing is linked to Ukraine’s resumption of attacks on energy targets, while Kyiv Post and Cyprus Mail report that regional fuel controls and shortages have returned in places where people may again queue.
Across reports, Rosneft is the key operator associated with the restrictions. Financial Times adds a quantified breakdown for limits by location and vehicle, while other outlets describe the limits more generally or focus on the wider pattern of outages and fuel shortages linked to strike activity in recent weeks.
