Could Russia's growing fuel crisis help end the Ukraine war?
DW reports that a renewed Russian fuel crisis now affects at least 30 regions, with rationing in Moscow, long queues and disruptions for transport-dependent businesses. Exiled Russian economists cited by DW argue that refinery damage and worsening fuel quality expose deeper structural weaknesses. The shortages show how Ukrainian long-range strikes are increasingly affecting Russia’s civilian economy, although a direct link to an imminent political shift remains unproven. DW
