People in Crimea are already switching to horses amid fuel shortages

According to analysts, there were at least 30 strikes on Russia and occupied territories in May — the highest monthly figure since the start of the war.

Eight of Russia’s ten largest oil refineries were hit, with some facilities targeted more than once.

Experts say this tactic makes repairs significantly more difficult and keeps facilities out of operation for longer periods.

As a result, Russian oil refining has fallen to its lowest level since 2009.

Moscow has already imposed fuel export restrictions and is intervening in the domestic market.

The country is experiencing rising prices and growing risks of localized gasoline shortages.
