Russia Imposes Fuel Limits After Drone Strikes Hit Refineries

After Ukrainian drone strikes disabled the Orsk refinery, Russian regions implemented fuel restrictions and price controls: the Orenburg area capped gasoline at 30 liters per vehicle and limited diesel within settlements (and banned canister fills), while Novosibirsk set a 15% cap on retail markups above wholesale prices; in occupied Crimea, open sales led to price spikes and a return to QR-code rationing with a 100 ruble per liter ceiling for AI-92. The crisis has hit Crimea’s tourism hard (hotels down about 70%), prompting more than 4 billion rubles in one-off aid for tourism workers and fueling speculation of leadership changes in Crimea.

Crimea bans night-time mopeds amid drone-noise accusations linked to Kyiv

Crimea’s Russian-installed administration imposed a night-time ban on riding mopeds, quad bikes and motorcycles (8pm–6am), claiming their sound mimics drone attacks and alleging Kyiv is recruiting youths. Ukraine’s drone campaign continues to target Crimea’s logistics, with reports of a Ukrainian strike on Gazprom Neft’s refinery near Moscow that damaged a facility and fueled fuel shortages. Separately, Ukrainian casualties were reported from Russian strikes, including a Su-24M crash. At the G7, Western leaders discussed new sanctions on Russia’s oil exports, banking and military production, with indications from the US of possible reinstatement of oil-related sanctions.

Ukraine targets Vladimir Oblast fuel hub in push to choke Moscow’s energy lifeline

Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) says it struck the Vtorovo fuel-pumping station in Russia’s Vladimir Oblast as part of a broader “long-range sanctions” campaign aimed at disrupting Russia’s fuel logistics to central regions and Moscow; the drone strike caused a large fire at the Transneft facility, and officials say such attacks are part of a wider effort to degrade Russia’s energy distribution with plans to intensify operations.

Cuba faces fuel drought as sanctions trigger outages and protests

Cuba’s energy minister said the island has run out of crude oil, fuel oil, and diesel due to the U.S. blockade, leaving only gas from wells and causing Havana to endure up to 22-hour blackouts amid street protests. With oil shipments halted since January and a weakened Venezuelan dependency, officials warn the grid is in a critical state and the country has no reserves. The U.S. has offered about $100 million in aid tied to reforms, and Havana must decide whether to accept the assistance and pursue talks.

Jet-fuel shocks push travelers toward staycations and closer getaways

Geopolitical tensions and disruptions to jet-fuel supplies are driving up airfares and forcing airlines to cut capacity, pushing many travelers away from long-haul trips toward closer, cheaper options or staycations. Experts advise staying flexible, prioritizing direct flights when possible, and buying travel insurance, while monitoring safety advisories as carriers adjust schedules and surcharges amid the ongoing energy and security concerns.
