Gasoline is either unavailable or sold at prices two to three times higher than in major cities. This is the reality for many in Russia, as Ukraine's strikes on Russian refineries have severely impacted the country's oil refining capacity.

This has put global diesel supply under renewed pressure, as reported by ChemAnalyst. The extent of the damage is still unfolding, and it remains to be seen how Russia will recover from this significant blow to its oil refining capabilities.
