- Russia's petrol supply has collapsed at seven in 10 stations nationwide, according to Euronews, prompting long refill queues among frustrated Moscow drivers per Reuters.
- The Russian government confirmed the country is now running on imported gasoline, per the Guardian's Ukraine war briefing, underscoring the depth of the domestic fuel shortfall.
- Putin's government is arresting Russian citizens for complaining, per a headline cut off in the source — a political-crackdown angle on a crisis that other outlets framed primarily as an energy/economic story.
Why it matters: A country that is one of the world's top oil exporters cannot keep its own petrol stations stocked, and the Kremlin is resorting to criminalizing public frustration — a sign that the fuel squeeze is now both an economic and a domestic-stability problem inside Russia.
