Russia introduced a ban on diesel exports on Wednesday and will start importing fuels later this month, said Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak. The Kremlin is trying to manage a fuel crisis that has deepened following Ukrainian attacks on Russian refineries, fuel depots, and energy infrastructure. hnonline.sk ↗
The crisis follows earlier reports of lines in front of gas stations, refueling limits, a black market, and cases of people offering overpriced gasoline via Telegram. Russian state media have already warned that fuel shortages should not lead to political destabilization. There are also reports of arguments and fights at gas stations, while Vladimir Putin, according to several accounts, is downplaying the situation. ta3.com ↗
New information also shows the extent of Ukrainian pressure. Ukrainian drone units operating deep in Russian territory work under strict secrecy, use encrypted communication, and pay only in cash. Their attacks also reach distant targets, including refineries, which is directly linked to the fuel supply problems. Moscow is meanwhile strengthening air defense around the capital with S-400 systems. sme.sk ↗
At the front, the dispute over Kostyantynivka continues. Moscow claims to have captured the city, but the Ukrainian General Staff denies this, and further reports suggest that military officials may have been presenting Putin with inflated data on the Russian army's advance. US President Donald Trump, after meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky, promised Ukraine the right to manufacture Patriot systems and described Ukrainian attacks deep inside Russia as an escalation that could bring the war's end closer.

Further developments will show whether the fuel crisis, pressure on Moscow, and discrepancies in military reports will begin to significantly affect the Kremlin's ability to continue the war. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
