Ukrainian drone strikes have targeted Russian oil refineries for several months, knocking out a third of the country's refining capacity. These attacks have set refineries ablaze and choked supplies for motorists across the vast country.
The strikes have caused petrol shortages across more than half of Russia's regions. As a result, lines are growing at gas stations, accompanied by increasing frustration and uncertainty.
To manage the imperiled supply, officials are now rationing fuel. The Kremlin has also taken the rare step of looking outside the country to bolster fuel supplies and address the crisis.
