00:00Russian troops face severe fuel shortages as Ukrainian strikes cripple supply lines.
00:06Kyiv, July 25th. Russian soldiers on the front lines in Ukraine are facing a critical fuel
00:12shortage, with military commanders restricting fuel usage to as little as 10 to 20 liters per
00:18vehicle per day following a series of Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil infrastructure and supply
00:23depots, according to soldiers on the ground. The shortages are affecting not only vehicles
00:28and generators, but also the operation of military equipment, including electronic
00:33warfare systems and unmanned aerial vehicles. Russian soldiers have described the current
00:38fuel situation as a catastrophe, with remaining supplies insufficient even to meet the needs of
00:44military hardware. One Russian soldier fighting in the Zaporizhzhia region reported that fuel
00:50deliveries to the front lines have been drastically reduced. Previously, his unit received approximately
00:5620 liters of fuel per vehicle. Now, the supply has dropped to between 10 and 15 liters. Another
01:03soldier confirmed that fuel supplies had fallen by about 30 percent, including fuel used for combat
01:09vehicles. Putin acknowledges fuel crisis. Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly acknowledged
01:16the impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russia's energy infrastructure. In a recent statement, he conceded
01:22that Russia is facing some shortages, but insisted that the situation had not yet reached a critical
01:27level. Putin also confirmed that Crimea, the occupied peninsula, has only a few days' worth of fuel
01:34reserves left. The fuel reserves we have in Crimea will last only a few days, Putin said, adding that Moscow
01:40would work to address the issue via land and sea routes. He acknowledged that Ukraine's drone and missile
01:46strikes have targeted not only military facilities, but also energy infrastructure as part of what he
01:52called an information war designed to create social instability, sow internal divisions, and pressure
01:59Moscow into negotiations on unfavorable terms. He also stressed the need to accelerate the production
02:05of air defense systems to protect critical infrastructure. Ukraine strikes vessels suspected of
02:11transporting military cargo between Iran and Russia, according to Ukraine Security Service, SBU. President
02:25Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed the operation, describing it as a successful long-range strike on
02:30unspecified targets, including a vessel accused of military logistics cooperation with Iran. Iran's foreign
02:36ministry condemned the attack, stating that a commercial vessel had been targeted, resulting
02:41in the death of one crew member and injuries to another. Tehran summoned Ukraine's ambassador to
02:47protest the strike, warning that such actions could escalate the conflict. Russia and Iran have
02:53strengthened military ties since Moscow's invasion of Ukraine, with Iran supplying hundreds of Shahed drones
02:59that Russia has used in large-scale nighttime attacks on Ukrainian cities. Russia-Iran's satellite
03:06intelligence sharing. Zelensky also accused Russia of sharing satellite imagery with Iran, providing
03:12detailed information on U.S. military positions in the Gulf region during the ongoing U.S.-Iran conflict.
03:18He claimed that Russian satellite surveillance of Gulf states and American bases had been recorded since
03:23early July, and that images had been transmitted to Iran both before strikes for planning purposes
03:28and after strikes for damage assessment. The claims come as Iran continues to face direct military tensions
03:35with the United States, with Ukrainian forces striking targets linked to Russian military logistics in the Black
03:42Blue Sea.
