How an Oil Superpower Ran Out of Fuel: Inside Russia’s Crippling Shortage

How does an oil superpower run out of fuel? Russia is finding out the hard way. 👉 What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia:    • What World Leaders NEED to Know about Russia   In this episode, Elvira Bary explains how one of the world’s biggest oil exporters ended up facing gasoline lines, diesel shortages, empty pumps, scarce fuel canisters, and growing pressure on farmers, drivers, businesses, and the army. Russia has oil in the ground, but oil is not gasoline in the tank. Between the Siberian well and the Russian driver lies a fragile chain of refineries, pipelines, railways, depots, trucks, spare parts, software, subsidies, and political decisions. Ukraine is striking the weak points in that chain, sanctions are making repairs slower, and regional shortages are turning Russia’s fuel machine into a national stress test.
