Putin fuel crisis – Bharat Pulse News

Russian President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged fuel supply problems after repeated Ukrainian strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, while saying the shortage is not yet critical. Russia Fuel Shortage After Ukraine Strikes Putin said attacks on critical and energy infrastructure had created “a certain shortage” of fuel in Russia. He added that the situation was causing problems but had not reached a critical level. Ukraine has stepped up long-range drone strikes on Russian oil facilities, including refineries, depots and logistics routes. Kyiv says these attacks are a response to Russia’s continuing strikes on Ukrainian cities, civilians and energy infrastructure since the war began in February 2022. Russia Air Defence Capacity Putin said Russia’s priority is to strengthen its anti-aircraft defence capability to protect energy and logistics facilities. The remarks underline growing pressure on Moscow as Ukrainian drones increasingly target sites far from the front line. Russia has claimed to intercept many Ukrainian drones, but the frequency of attacks has exposed vulnerabilities in its energy network. The strikes have forced authorities to focus on protecting refineries, fuel depots and supply routes. Crimea Fuel Crisis Fuel pressure has been particularly visible in Russian-annexed Crimea, where local authorities declared an emergency situation after fuel shortages and power disruptions. Crimea was annexed by Russia in 2014, a move not recognised by many countries. Putin said ensuring fuel supply to Crimea remains a key task. The shortages come at a sensitive time for Russia, with fuel demand linked to agriculture, transport and military logistics. The developments show how Ukraine’s drone campaign is increasingly affecting Russia’s domestic infrastructure and adding economic pressure beyond the battlefield.
