In Russia, there is an emergency with the supply of gasoline and diesel, caused by the incidence of drones at oil refineries. As a result, fuel reserves are exhausted, which leads to a sharp increase in fuel prices in the country.
More and more enterprises in Russia are forced to stop production of gasoline. This has led to an increase in prices: in the last week, diesel prices have jumped by almost 10%, and gasoline has reached the maximum level in the last six months, increasing by 20%.
The attacks of Ukrainian drones on oil refineries in the depths of Russia forced the Kremlin authorities to move to protective measures. However, these attacks have led to an emergency: in Russia, gasoline has ended. Even fuel exports have decreased almost to the historic minimum. In addition, Russia has reduced the supply of fuel to its army to Ukraine.
The publication noted that this situation is a serious problem for Russia, both politically and economically. Prices for fuel are growing rapidly, breaking promises of cheap fuel for the population, which is a big challenge for the government.
Dzerilfa attacks on fuel storage factories and oil refineries in Russia continue. On April 26, the drone got to the Slavic oil refining plant in the Krasnodar region, damaging the rectification column. The incident led to a fire that caused the infrastructure. Fortunately, human victims were avoided.
A day earlier, a significant fire occurred in Omsk, which spread to fuel tanks near the Omsk Oil Refinery. Initially, the fire area was 500 square meters, but eventually increased to 1000 square meters.
On the night of April 20, Ukrainian drones made large -scale attacks on the territory of Russia. They struck oil refineries and electric substations in eight regions of the Russian Federation. The fires occurred at the refinery in the Smolensk region, and damage to electric substations in other regions was recorded.
To protect their oil refineries from drones, Russian companies have started using special nets. These measures are designed to reduce the risk of strikes at the initial stage.
