The systemic collapse of Russia’s domestic energy market is reaching unprecedented levels. In Moscow, desperate drivers are forming massive, multi-mile lines trying to hoard fuel as gas stations across the capital completely dry up. Meanwhile, in Russia’s southern resort towns and the occupied regions, severe scarcity has caused fuel prices to triple.
Why the crisis is accelerating: Data from NASA’s satellite fire maps reveals that a higher percentage of Ukrainian long-range drones are slipping through Russian air defenses than ever before. The strikes are no longer just hitting easily repairable crude distillation towers; they are inflicting severe, structural damage on highly complex, western-dependent isomerization, catalytic cracking, and hydrotreating units. The Kremlin is running out of options to stop the bleeding.
