Frontline Fuel Crunch Forces Russian Units to Ration, Even Abandon Tanks
TL;DR
Russia’s fuel shortages, intensified by Ukrainian strikes on refineries, are hampering frontline operations in Ukraine as soldiers report reduced gasoline and diesel deliveries and strict rationing (sometimes 10–15 liters per delivery or ~20 liters per day). There are accounts of a functioning T-72 being abandoned after running dry; troops seek private fuel at high prices, rely on generators, and question fuel quality from the Defense Ministry, underscoring a deepening military logistics crisis for Moscow.
