Putin Faces Humiliating New Crisis After Shock Attack

Several regions of Russia are experiencing major fuel shortages after Ukraine resumed its drone attacks targeting the country’s oil refineries.

In the Orenburg region, a rationing system has been introduced, allowing only drivers with designated license plates to purchase a limited supply of gasoline and diesel, Bloomberg reported.

The disruption occurred after Ukraine struck a major oil refinery in the Orsk region Tuesday, which officials fear could take as long as six months to repair. “We’re preparing for the worst-case scenario,” regional Governor Yevgeny Solntsev said Thursday.
