Multiple outlets report that Ukraine’s strikes on Russian energy infrastructure are driving a fuel-supply disruption inside Russia, with spillover effects on military logistics. Al Jazeera and Deutsche Welle describe an extended campaign targeting oil refineries and related infrastructure across Russian regions, including areas in and around occupied Crimea, as well as routes supporting supplies in occupied territories. Inquirer.net provides specific examples, citing attacks on refineries in June in Moscow, Nizhnekamsk, Tyumen and Volgograd, and stating that May saw strikes affecting a wider set of refineries. It also reports an estimated drop in gasoline production of about 25%, attributing the figure to Reuters sources. According to that report, Russian gasoline output is roughly 85,000 metric tons per day, while summer demand is about 110,000 metric tons per day. DW frames the situation as mounting pressure linked to shortages in occupied Crimea and wider disruption to fuel availability. Overall, the articles converge on the same core point: attacks on energy infrastructure are reducing fuel production and contributing to shortages, raising questions about whether this affects Russia’s willingness to engage in talks.
