The brief

Russia is experiencing a fuel crisis characterized by output drops of up to 40% due to key refineries remaining offline. To prevent shortages in Moscow, the government is diverting fuel supplies from Siberia.

Additionally, Ukrainian strikes have reduced Russian grain exports. Coverage from Reuters, The Moscow Times, and UNITED24 Media emphasizes the logistical shifts to protect the capital and the scale of production losses.

Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty highlights the impact on the hinterlands, where there are concerns regarding cows, winter hay, and tractors. Future developments center on whether the fuel market will continue to stabilize, as suggested by Deputy PM Novak, and the extent of the economic damage caused by the crisis.
