Russia’s third fuel crisis could be its worst as Ukraine’s drones hit refineries

Ukrainian drones have hit refineries making about 55% of Russia’s petrol and diesel, oil analyst Sergey Vakulenko estimated on November 13, as a third fuel crisis this year takes hold.”The petrol situation in Russia is becoming very serious,” Vakulenko, a senior fellow at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, wrote on X, counting the strikes on the Omsk refinery on November 11 and the Volgograd refinery a day later.
