- BBC's Rosenberg reports Russians are experiencing a petrol shortage amid what he frames as the war's growing domestic impact, while observing that patriotism itself remains intact
- Russia's fuel crisis has worsened to the point that petrol has run out at seven in 10 stations, according to Euronews, and The Guardian reports the government has confirmed the country is now running on imported gasoline
Why it matters: A government-confirmed reliance on imported gasoline alongside 70% station outages signals that wartime economic strain is now visibly reaching Russian consumers — an unusual public acknowledgment of domestic energy shortfall from the Kremlin.
