Episode Details

Ukraine’s drone strikes are crippling Russia’s oil refineries, sparking a nationwide fuel crisis that’s forcing people to queue for hours, even fight over gas—and in some cases, Russia is now importing fuel it once exported. Explosions and smoke from targeted facilities show the relentless impact of the war, fueling public frustration and dark online humor. Regions impose purchase limits, Crimea declares a state of emergency, and drivers like a Moscow man now fill only 20 liters at a time—only to find stations shut down citing “technical breaks.” Rumors swirl about lower-quality fuel and even advice to avoid filling tanks fully. Beyond the pump, this crisis is straining Russia’s economy, potentially hampering the central bank’s ability to cut interest rates and deepening economic woes.
