Russian President Vladimir Putin says fuel supply problems continue in Russia, affecting both motorists and businesses. Multiple outlets report that he points to persistent shortages and queues at gas stations. Putin says the situation remains a concern for domestic demand, including access to fuel for everyday consumers and commercial activities.
According to the reports, the ongoing difficulties are linked to refinery outages that have disrupted production and contributed to supply constraints. In response, Moscow is weighing measures aimed at stabilizing the domestic fuel market. The outlets indicate that the government is considering steps to address the imbalance between supply and demand and to reduce interruptions experienced by drivers and industry.
While the reports focus on Putin’s acknowledgment of the problem and the immediate impact on fuel availability, they also frame the issue as a market stabilization effort following operational disruptions at refineries. The coverage does not specify the final measures or timelines in the excerpts, but it emphasizes that authorities are actively assessing options to restore more reliable fuel supplies.
