Overview

• Ukraine’s foreign intelligence service says 360 petrol stations nationwide stopped selling gasoline over the past two months, equal to about 2.6% of the network, and it warns the deficit could widen.
• The Southern Federal District is the worst hit, with more than 220 outlets—about 14.2%—ceasing fuel sales, as several other regions report double‑digit declines in operating stations.
• Occupied Crimea faces the sharpest crisis, with roughly half of stations out of petrol, and local leader Serhiy Aksyonov pledged AI‑95 supplies within two days and AI‑92 within two weeks.
• Retailers have imposed caps of 10–20 liters per customer or shifted to diesel‑only sales, and Lukoil barred jerrycan purchases at some Moscow stations as further limits appeared around the capital and Leningrad region.
• Refinery disruptions linked by media and officials to Ukrainian drone strikes have curtailed output and exports, and Ukraine’s navy says Russia is routing fuel to the peninsula over the Kerch bridge due to rail constraints.
