Russia Imposes Gasoline Rationing After Refinery Attacks
State-owned Rosneft limits sales across several Russian regions following damage to refining facilities from Ukrainian drones and missiles.
Russian oil company Rosneft has begun rationing fuel at stations across several regions of the country. Sales are now limited to 30 liters per vehicle in urban areas and 50 liters on highways.
The restrictions follow a renewed wave of Ukrainian drone and missile strikes against Russian refineries in late October. Technical data suggests that up to 35% of Russia's total refining capacity is currently out of operation.
In regions such as Nizhny Novgorod, the sale of gasoline in canisters has been prohibited. The measure also prevents the refueling of vehicles registered outside the affected local jurisdictions.
The Ukrainian government justifies the offensive as a response to the damage Russia has caused to its own energy infrastructure. This conflict scenario unfolds as both sides face severe crises in electricity and fuel supplies.
Representatives from both countries are expected to participate in peace negotiations mediated by the United States this Tuesday in Abu Dhabi. The market is closely monitoring the fallout from these attacks and the direct impact on the global energy supply.
