- Moscow gas stations reimposed sales limits as a 'second wave' of fuel shortages hit Russia, according to the Moscow Times.
- Russia's government confirmed the country is running on imported gasoline amid a deepening oil-flow slump, per the Guardian's Ukraine war briefing.
Why it matters: Russia publicly confirmed reliance on imported gasoline, an unusual admission that domestic refining cannot meet demand. For Moscow drivers and the broader Russian economy, reimposed station-level purchase caps suggest the supply crunch is tightening faster than official messaging implies.
