00:00Russia is facing growing fuel pressure as Ukraine intensifies strikes on refineries and oil depots.
00:06Reports say fuel shortages are now spreading across the country.
00:10Sales restrictions were first seen in Crimea and regions close to Ukraine.
00:15But the problem has now reached Omsk Oblast in Siberia.
00:19There, drivers are reportedly limited to filling their vehicle tank only.
00:23Customers are capped at 40 liters of petrol or 80 liters of diesel.
00:27According to insiders, Moscow is now trying to import petrol from Kazakhstan.
00:33Analysts say the issue is not only supply.
00:35Russia's vast transport network may also be vulnerable.
00:39One political scientist pointed to 17 railway bridges across the Volga.
00:43These routes carry fuel and freight across the country.
00:47If disrupted, they could affect military logistics and civilian supply chains.
00:52For Ukraine, the strategy appears aimed at weakening Russia's war machine.
00:56For Moscow, the shortages may deepen public fatigue as the war's economic cost becomes harder to ignore.
