- Russia has run out of petrol at seven in 10 stations as its fuel crisis worsens, and the government has confirmed the country is now running on imported gasoline.
- Vladimir Putin has begun arresting Russian citizens who complain about the shortages, while frustrated Moscow drivers face long queues to refill their vehicles.
Why it matters: A country built on energy exports is publicly admitting it cannot fuel its own stations — seven in 10 dry and the Kremlin importing gasoline. Arresting citizens who complain signals Moscow reads the fuel crisis as a political threat, not just a logistics problem.
