In an alarming escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russia has intensified its attacks on civilian fuel stations in Ukraine using drones and missiles, while Ukraine continues to target Russian oil refineries. The latest wave of attacks on petrol stations, which began in April, has resulted in numerous casualties and significant disruptions in various regions across Ukraine. In retaliation, Russia has experienced severe fuel shortages nationwide due to Ukrainian drone strikes on its oil refineries. As a result, at least 246 filling stations have been hit by Russian attacks in Ukraine, with the number increasing steadily each month. To mitigate the risk, police forces have issued special guidance urging motorists to evacuate petrol stations during air raid alerts and, if necessary, abandon their vehicles. The damage has been particularly disruptive in key regions such as Kharkiv and Dnipro, where some critical road links have no functioning petrol stations left. Local authorities are stockpiling fuel in different locations to maintain supplies for essential services. In Russia, the situation is equally dire, with fuel shortages reported in almost every region following Ukrainian attacks on refineries and other infrastructure. Unlike Russia, Ukraine does not rely on large, vulnerable refineries and fuel depots but imports fuel by road using tanker trucks. The ongoing energy crisis, driven by this escalating conflict, poses a significant threat to both countries' economies and civilian populations, with no clear resolution in sight.
