Ukraine drone attacks on Russia’s oil facilities and supply networks have triggered broad fuel shortages across Russia, prompting rationing in at least 56 regions, rising prices, empty stations, and long lines; remote areas face logistical strains while the government weighs a diesel-export ban to stabilize the domestic market and regional officials urge stockpiling ahead of harvest and winter.
A Ukrainian drone strike hit Gazprom Neft's refinery southeast of Moscow, starting a fire and, according to industry sources, halting operations at the plant that supplies a large share of the Moscow region's fuel; Moscow officials later claimed the fire did not affect operations. Zelenskiy framed the attack as proof of Kyiv's reach as Ukraine intensifies refinery strikes that are straining Russia's fuel market.
Tatneft has imposed caps on gasoline and diesel purchases at about 800 stations nationwide following Ukrainian drone strikes on its refineries, with regional limits such as 30 L gasoline/60 L diesel in Chelyabinsk and 20 L gasoline/40 L diesel in southern Moscow; the Taneco refinery in Nizhnekamsk reportedly halted operations after the strike, and Tatneft’s shares fell over 3% as authorities attribute shortages to drone attacks and coordinate an industry-wide response to stabilize energy supplies.
Russia’s major oil networks have begun nationwide fuel rationing due to a domestic shortage, with Tatneft capping gasoline at 20 liters and diesel at 40 liters per vehicle in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and other regions. Rosneft and Lukoil have implemented similar limits, as Moscow bans jet fuel exports and extends a gasoline export ban. The shortage is linked to refinery outages caused by Ukrainian drone strikes, creating a market that has largely turned inward and threatens domestic supply even in the capital.
Russian tennis player Veronika Kudermetova was photographed at the French Open without her Tatneft sponsorship logo on her wardrobe, which was seen at other tournaments. Roland Garros stated that any commercial identification that violates governmental/TV regulations is prohibited, and Tatneft is on this list and not allowed. Kudermetova, who is ranked No. 11 on the WTA Tour, previously stated she would remove the mention in order to compete at Wimbledon this summer. Players from both Russia and Belarus will be allowed to compete at Wimbledon this year as "neutral" athletes following a ban previously enforced in the wake of the war in Ukraine.
