Russia’s fuel crisis deepens \u2013 Ukrainian drone strikes paralyze oil refineries. Gas stations dry, rationing in 40 regions, Putin admits “certain shortage.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Russia’s Fuel Crisis Deepens: “Not a Single Drop of Gasoline” as Ukrainian Drone Strikes Paralyze Refineries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia, one of the world’s largest oil producers, is facing a deepening fuel crisis that has left gas stations dry across much of the country. Ukrainian drone strikes have disabled nearly half of Russia’s refining capacity, triggering panic buying, long queues, and rationing \u2014 and forcing the Kremlin to consider the unthinkable: importing gasoline from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Crisis on the Ground<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At gas stations across Russia, the situation has become dire. Drivers wait for hours \u2014 sometimes days \u2014 only to be turned away. In the far eastern Zabaikalsky region, motorists have been queuing for up to 36 hours to receive just 15 liters of gasoline. In the Black Sea resort of Anapa, authorities have called in Cossacks to keep order at petrol stations as tensions rise and tempers flare. In Moscow, videos circulating on social media show angry confrontations between drivers fighting over their place in line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

German-Russian TikToker “DerNemez” (The German), who has nearly 236,000 followers, has been documenting the crisis from the ground. Just days ago, he reported fuel rationing with a maximum of 30 liters per vehicle. Now, he warns of “apocalyptic conditions” with “not a single drop of gasoline” at many stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Cause: Ukraine’s Drone Campaign<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crisis has a clear trigger: Ukraine’s sustained campaign of long-range drone and missile strikes against Russia’s energy infrastructure. Since early June, Ukraine has intensified what it calls its “long-range sanctions” \u2014 targeting oil refineries, fuel depots, pipelines, and even tankers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers are staggering:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Around 50 attacks on Russian fuel production facilities over the past 100 days
\u00b7 At least 24 of Russia’s 34 major oil refineries struck
\u00b7 Nearly 43% of Russia’s oil refining capacity “disabled,” according to Kyiv
\u00b7 Oil refining throughput at its lowest level since 2005
\u00b7 Gasoline production down approximately 25% from last year’s daily average<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The attacks have reached far beyond Ukraine’s borders. Ukrainian long-range drones are now capable of hitting targets more than 2,400 kilometers from the border. Recent strikes have hit the Kapotnya refinery in Moscow \u2014 twice \u2014 knocking it offline until at least the end of 2026. The Omsk Oil Refinery, Russia’s largest, was struck on July 6, triggering immediate fuel shortages and long queues across the region. Even St Petersburg’s major oil terminal has been hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Kremlin’s Response: Rationing, Reserves, and Imports<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian government has responded with a series of extraordinary measures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Fuel rationing in over 40 regions, with limits ranging from 15 to 40 liters per vehicle
\u00b7 A ban on gasoline and jet fuel exports
\u00b7 A ban on most diesel exports until the end of July
\u00b7 Drafting of strategic fuel reserves
\u00b7 Negotiations to import gasoline \u2014 a rare step for the world’s third-largest oil exporter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak has acknowledged the severity of the situation, describing it as “tense” and admitting to “shortages and disruptions at individual gas stations”. He has also confirmed that panic buying has driven up demand by 20-30%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most strikingly, President Vladimir Putin has made a rare public admission of the problem. In late June, he acknowledged that Russia is facing a “certain shortage” of fuel. He estimated gasoline reserves at 1.7 million metric tons \u2014 a 4% decline from the previous year. Putin insisted the situation is “not critical,” but his admission marked the first time he had openly linked the shortages to Ukrainian attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

The Human Toll: Anger, Frustration, and Political Fallout<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fuel crisis is not just an economic problem \u2014 it’s a political and social one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, authorities declared a state of emergency and suspended fuel sales to private individuals entirely, reserving supplies for government agencies and emergency services. Putin admitted that only “a few days’ supply” remained on the peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across Russia, farmers in the grain belt fear they will not be able to harvest their crops. The crisis comes at the worst possible time \u2014 the peak summer vacation season and the agricultural harvest are both in full swing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even Kremlin-loyal politicians are voicing anger. Two lawmakers from the Communist Party, nominally in opposition but usually supportive of the Kremlin, have launched scathing attacks on the government’s handling of the crisis. Vyacheslav Markhayev demanded to know why no lessons had been learned from earlier strikes on refineries, calling the situation “a failure of state governance”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has mocked the crisis, stating: “Russians themselves, standing in lines for gasoline in different regions of Russia, can actually see that their ‘three-day war’ is now in its fifth year and has reached the point where even an oil state, a gas station, as Russia used to be called, is now facing gasoline shortages”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

A Game-Changer?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysts warn that the fuel crisis could be a “game-changer” for Russia’s economy. The Russian Ministry of Economy has already lowered its 2026 growth forecast from 1.3% to just 0.4%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact that Russia \u2014 the world’s third-largest oil exporter in 2025 \u2014 is now importing gasoline from as far away as India underscores the depth of the crisis. The International Energy Agency called the level of disruption “unprecedented” in the history of the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As one analyst put it: “In this race between the repairers and the attackers, the balance is shifting. The Russian oil industry’s resilience is being stretched dangerously thin”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russia’s fuel crisis is a direct consequence of Ukraine’s strategic campaign to bring the war home to the Russian people. What began as localized disruptions has now spread to almost every region of the country. Gas stations are dry, drivers are desperate, and the Kremlin is scrambling to contain the damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Vladimir Putin, the crisis represents a dangerous moment. A leader who has built his reputation on stability and strength is now publicly acknowledging that his country \u2014 one of the world’s largest oil producers \u2014 cannot fuel its own cars. The question is no longer whether the crisis will end, but how much damage it will cause before it does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Russlands Treibstoffkrise versch\u00e4rft sich: “Kein einziger Tropfen Benzin” \u2013 Ukrainische Drohnenangriffe legen Raffinerien lahm

Russland, einer der gr\u00f6\u00dften \u00d6lproduzenten der Welt, erlebt eine sich zuspitzende Treibstoffkrise, die weite Teile des Landes lahmlegt. Ukrainische Drohnenangriffe haben fast die H\u00e4lfte der russischen Raffineriekapazit\u00e4t au\u00dfer Gefecht gesetzt \u2013 mit verheerenden Folgen: Hamsterk\u00e4ufe, stundenlange Warteschlangen, Rationierungen und sogar Gespr\u00e4che \u00fcber Benzinimporte aus dem Ausland.

—

Die Lage vor Ort \u2013 leere Zapfs\u00e4ulen und verzweifelte Autofahrer

An Tankstellen in ganz Russland hat sich die Lage dramatisch zugespitzt. Autofahrer warten stunden- oder gar tagelang \u2013 nur um abgewiesen zu werden. In der fern\u00f6stlichen Region Transbaikalien stehen Fahrer bis zu 36 Stunden an, um gerade einmal 15 Liter Benzin zu ergattern. Im Schwarzmeer-Badeort Anapa hat die Regierung sogar Kosaken zur Aufrechterhaltung der Ordnung an Tankstellen abgestellt, da die Stimmung zunehmend kippt. In Moskau kursieren Videos in sozialen Medien, die w\u00fctende Konfrontationen zwischen Fahrern zeigen, die um ihren Platz in der Schlange k\u00e4mpfen.

Der deutsch-russische TikToker \u201eDerNemez\u201c (Der Deutsche), der knapp 236.000 Follower hat, dokumentiert die Krise aus erster Hand. Vor wenigen Tagen berichtete er noch von einer Rationierung des Sprits auf maximal 30 Liter pro Fahrzeug. Nun warnt er vor \u201eapokalyptischen Zust\u00e4nden\u201c und leeren Zapfs\u00e4ulen \u2013 \u201ekein einziger Tropfen Benzin\u201c an vielen Tankstellen.

Die Ursache \u2013 Die Drohnenoffensive der Ukraine

Die Krise hat einen klaren Ausl\u00f6ser: die anhaltende Kampagne der Ukraine mit weitreichenden Drohnen- und Raketenangriffen auf Russlands Energieinfrastruktur. Seit Anfang Juni hat die Ukraine ihre sogenannten \u201eLangstrecken-Sanktionen\u201c intensiviert \u2013 mit Angriffen auf \u00d6lraffinerien, Treibstoffdepots, Pipelines und sogar Tanker.

Die Zahlen sind erschreckend:

\u00b7 Rund 50 Angriffe auf russische Treibstoffproduktionsanlagen in den letzten 100 Tagen
\u00b7 Mindestens 24 der 34 gro\u00dfen \u00d6lraffinerien Russlands wurden getroffen
\u00b7 Fast 43 % der russischen \u00d6lraffineriekapazit\u00e4t wurden laut Kiew \u201eau\u00dfer Gefecht gesetzt\u201c
\u00b7 Roh\u00f6lverarbeitung auf dem niedrigsten Stand seit 2005
\u00b7 Benzinproduktion um etwa 25 % gegen\u00fcber dem Tagesdurchschnitt des Vorjahres gesunken

Die Angriffe haben l\u00e4ngst die Grenzen der Ukraine \u00fcberschritten. Ukrainische Langstreckendrohnen sind nun in der Lage, Ziele in \u00fcber 2.400 Kilometern Entfernung von der Grenze zu treffen. K\u00fcrzliche Angriffe trafen die Kapotnya-Raffinerie in Moskau \u2013 gleich zweimal \u2013, die nun mindestens bis Ende 2026 offline ist. Die Omsker \u00d6lraffinerie, die gr\u00f6\u00dfte Russlands, wurde am 6. Juli getroffen, was sofort zu Treibstoffengp\u00e4ssen und langen Schlangen in der gesamten Region f\u00fchrte. Selbst das wichtige \u00d6lterminal in St. Petersburg wurde angegriffen.

Die Reaktion des Kremls \u2013 Rationierungen, Reserven und Importe

Die russische Regierung hat mit einer Reihe au\u00dfergew\u00f6hnlicher Ma\u00dfnahmen reagiert:

\u00b7 Treibstoffrationierung in \u00fcber 40 Regionen, mit Grenzen von 15 bis 40 Litern pro Fahrzeug
\u00b7 Exportverbot f\u00fcr Benzin und Kerosin
\u00b7 Exportverbot f\u00fcr die meisten Dieselsorten bis Ende Juli
\u00b7 Zehrung an strategischen Treibstoffreserven
\u00b7 Verhandlungen \u00fcber Benzinimporte \u2013 ein seltener Schritt f\u00fcr den drittgr\u00f6\u00dften \u00d6lexporteur der Welt

Vizepremier Alexander Nowak hat das Ausma\u00df der Krise einger\u00e4umt und sie als “angespannt” bezeichnet. Er gab zu, dass es \u201eProbleme\u201c und ein \u201eDefizit\u201c gebe, das zu Schlangen und instabilem Betrieb an Tankstellen f\u00fchre.

Besonders bemerkenswert: Pr\u00e4sident Wladimir Putin hat das Problem \u00f6ffentlich einger\u00e4umt. Ende Juni r\u00e4umte er eine \u201egewisse Verknappung\u201c von Treibstoff ein. Er sch\u00e4tzte die Benzinreserven auf 1,7 Millionen Tonnen \u2013 ein R\u00fcckgang um 4 % gegen\u00fcber dem Vorjahr. Putin betonte zwar, die Lage sei \u201enicht kritisch\u201c, doch sein Eingest\u00e4ndnis markierte das erste Mal, dass er die Engp\u00e4sse offen mit den ukrainischen Angriffen in Verbindung brachte.

Die menschlichen Kosten \u2013 Wut, Frustration und politische Folgen

Die Treibstoffkrise ist nicht nur ein wirtschaftliches Problem \u2013 sie ist ein politisches und soziales.

In der von Russland annektierten Krim erkl\u00e4rten die Beh\u00f6rden den Ausnahmezustand und stellten den Treibstoffverkauf an Privatpersonen vollst\u00e4ndig ein. Die Reserven w\u00fcrden nur noch f\u00fcr Regierungsbeh\u00f6rden und den Katastrophenschutz vorgehalten. Putin r\u00e4umte ein, dass auf der Halbinsel nur noch \u201eein paar Tage\u201c Vorrat vorhanden seien.

In ganz Russland f\u00fcrchten Bauern in der Getreideanbauregion, ihre Ernten nicht einbringen zu k\u00f6nnen. Die Krise kommt zur denkbar ung\u00fcnstigsten Zeit \u2013 die Sommerferienzeit und die landwirtschaftliche Ernte sind in vollem Gange.

Selbst Kreml-treue Politiker \u00e4u\u00dfern ihren Unmut. Zwei Abgeordnete der Kommunistischen Partei, die zwar nominell in der Opposition, aber meist Kreml-treu ist, haben scharfe Angriffe auf die Regierung gerichtet. Wjatscheslaw Marchajew forderte, warum aus fr\u00fcheren Angriffen auf Raffinerien keine Lehren gezogen wurden, und nannte die Situation \u201eein Versagen der Staatsf\u00fchrung\u201c.

Der ukrainische Pr\u00e4sident Wolodymyr Selenskyj spottete \u00fcber die Krise: \u201eDie Russen selbst, die in verschiedenen Regionen Russlands in Schlangen nach Benzin stehen, k\u00f6nnen tats\u00e4chlich sehen, dass ihr \u201aDreitage-Krieg\u2018 jetzt im f\u00fcnften Jahr ist und an den Punkt gelangt ist, an dem selbst ein \u00d6lstaat, eine Tankstelle, wie Russland fr\u00fcher genannt wurde, jetzt mit Benzinengp\u00e4ssen zu k\u00e4mpfen hat.\u201c

—

Ein Wendepunkt?

Analysten warnen, dass die Treibstoffkrise ein \u201eGame-Changer\u201c f\u00fcr Russlands Wirtschaft sein k\u00f6nnte. Das russische Wirtschaftsministerium hat seine Wachstumsprognose f\u00fcr 2026 bereits von 1,3 % auf nur noch 0,4 % gesenkt.

Die Tatsache, dass Russland \u2013 der drittgr\u00f6\u00dfte \u00d6lexporteur der Welt im Jahr 2025 \u2013 nun Benzin importiert, selbst aus so weit entfernten L\u00e4ndern wie Indien, unterstreicht die Tiefe der Krise. Die Internationale Energieagentur bezeichnete das Ausma\u00df der St\u00f6rungen als \u201ebeispiellos\u201c in der Geschichte des Krieges.

Wie ein Analyst es formulierte: \u201eIn diesem Wettrennen zwischen Reparateuren und Angreifern verschiebt sich das Gleichgewicht. Die Widerstandsf\u00e4higkeit der russischen \u00d6lindustrie wird gef\u00e4hrlich d\u00fcnn.\u201c

Fazit

Die Treibstoffkrise Russlands ist eine direkte Folge der strategischen Kampagne der Ukraine, den Krieg nach Hause zu den russischen B\u00fcrgern zu bringen. Was als lokalisierte Engp\u00e4sse begann, hat sich nun auf fast alle Regionen des Landes ausgeweitet. Tankstellen sind leer, Autofahrer sind verzweifelt, und der Kreml k\u00e4mpft darum, den Schaden zu begrenzen.

F\u00fcr Wladimir Putin stellt die Krise einen gef\u00e4hrlichen Moment dar. Ein F\u00fchrer, der seinen Ruf auf Stabilit\u00e4t und St\u00e4rke aufgebaut hat, sieht sich nun gezwungen, \u00f6ffentlich einzur\u00e4umen, dass sein Land \u2013 einer der gr\u00f6\u00dften \u00d6lproduzenten der Welt \u2013 seine eigenen Autos nicht mehr betanken kann. Die Frage ist nicht mehr, ob die Krise enden wird, sondern wie viel Schaden sie anrichten wird, bevor sie das tut.
