Russia’s fuel squeeze sparks expert clash over true refining capacity

Two economists debated whether Russia’s oil refining capacity is severely disrupted or only modestly reduced amid Ukrainian strikes. Vakulenko cites a 25–28% drop, while Shiryaev argues 65–70% of refining is knocked out; both acknowledge data gaps and rely on unofficial sources, with discussions covering current gasoline/diesel production ranges, plant damage vs. repair, defenses against drone attacks, and potential policy moves that could affect prices and supply.

Russia faces fresh petrol shortages as Ukrainian strikes target refineries

Russia admitted new petrol shortages amid Ukrainian strikes targeting energy sites, with the Orsk refinery shut for months and fuel rationing spreading across regions. Authorities say deliveries are being increased to vulnerable areas and prices monitored, as repairs are accelerated. Putin acknowledged a temporary deficit but promised imports and social obligations would be maintained, and he signaled faster production of air-defense equipment in response to the attacks.

Putin Overhauls Russian Command for Logistics as Ukraine Attacks Rear Areas

Putin Overhauls Russian Command for Logistics as Ukraine Attacks Rear Areas

President Vladimir Putin reshuffled senior Russian military leadership, elevating Valery Solodchuk to deputy defense minister for logistics and naming Denis Lyamin to lead the Unmanned Systems Forces, while Alexander Sanchik shifts to Southern Military District procurement duties and Alexey Krivoruchko takes on military-technical development oversight. The changes, framed as internal leadership reassignments, come amid Ukrainian long-range strikes targeting rear areas and logistics. Separately, North Korea reportedly deployed missile units and hundreds of ballistic missiles to Russia, potentially expanding Moscow’s strike capabilities. A drone incident disrupted operations at Leipzig/Halle airport in Germany, and Ukraine continued long-range strikes on Wildberries warehouses and oil facilities in Russia. ISW notes limited battlefield gains from the reshuffle in the near term, with senior commanders circulated rather than replaced and Russian efforts increasingly focused on ballistic missiles and rear-area resilience.

Poland hit by Russian missile as Ukraine faces renewed strikes, NATO says

A Russian missile landed in a rural area of Poland as Russia renewed attacks on Ukraine, NATO said; there were no injuries in Poland and officials suggested Poland was not the intended target, but the incident raises concerns about airspace violations and potential direct confrontation with NATO. Ukrainian authorities reported at least 10 civilians killed and about 50 injured in the Ukrainian strikes.

1.3M-follower cosmetics founder appeals for tax relief after Wildberries warehouse strikes

Marina Gorshkova, founder of a cosmetics brand with 1.3 million Instagram followers, released a video appealing to Russia’s leadership for help after Ukrainian strikes damaged Wildberries warehouses. She says many sellers have been harmed by fires, losing revenue and taxes, and urges a year-long tax exemption and loan-payment holidays to keep businesses afloat. She also calls for oversight of Wildberries’ seller obligations as she cannot retrieve merchandise. The strikes have hit warehouses across multiple regions and Crimea, and her post drew about 10,000 likes in a day.

Ukraine strikes push Russia’s gasoline crunch into a market squeeze, data shows

Ukraine strikes push Russia’s gasoline crunch into a market squeeze, data shows

Meduza analyzes SPIMEX trading data from January–early July 2026 to quantify Russia’s gasoline shortage driven by Ukrainian strikes on refineries. About 35 refineries are operating of 39 commissioned; strikes damaged primary processing units, sharply reducing delivery-base volumes (e.g., Moscow ~4,400–400 tons/day; Taneco ~56% drop; Norsi ~63%; Kinef ~80%), while overall exchange volumes for gasoline and diesel fell from ~118–150k tons/day early 2026 to ~80k in June and prices rose about 146% from January. Russia has begun importing gasoline (at least 60,000 tons from India) and is tightening export restrictions; the exchange quota was cut from 15% to 10% in July 2026. Repairs are slow due to sanctions and parts shortages, and the crisis shows no immediate end.

Russia's fragile fuel fix: looser standards, subsidies, and imports to weather refinery strikes

Russia faces a worsening gasoline shortage driven by reduced refining and Ukrainian strikes on refineries. Moscow is weighing measures such as allowing Euro-3 gasoline/diesel (lower sulfur), cutting the exchange-sale quota from 15% to 10%, and subsidizing imports through a damper mechanism—steps that could cost the budget billions and affect farmers, airlines, and independent stations as the country searches for portables to stabilize supply while tensions with Ukraine persist.

Sevastopol Halts Fuel Coupons After Ukraine Strikes Disrupt Supply Routes

Russian-held Sevastopol suspended petrol rationing coupons after trucks could not deliver fuel due to Ukrainian strikes on logistics routes; priority refuelling will go to public transport, utilities, emergency and government vehicles, with new coupons issued. The disruption adds to Crimea's fuel shortages and comes as Kyiv widens drone and missile strikes on Russian energy and transport infrastructure.

Ukrainian strikes knock Mariupol port offline and target Russia’s southern logistics network

Ukrainian forces disabled the Russian-occupied port of Mariupol, cutting a key logistics hub used to move military cargo between Donetsk, Crimea and Russia, after strikes on substations, radar and fuel facilities and the sanctioned vessel Lady Augusta. The campaign also destroyed the Chonhar Bridge linking Crimea to occupied Kherson and hit the Cheboksary VNIIR-Progress plant blamed for drone and missile components, part of a broader long-range strike effort. Bulgaria’s new government signaled it will halt arms shipments to Ukraine and call for negotiations, signaling a shift in regional support.
