Russian fuel prices are spiking to near-record highs — and Ukrainian drone strikes might be to blame. As Ukraine targets Russian oil refineries during peak summer travel season, fuel supplies are shrinking while demand skyrockets. Major refineries like Afipsky, Ryazan, and Saratov have reportedly been hit, leading to fewer transport options and more drivers on the road. Despite a nationwide fuel export ban, Russia’s gas crisis deepens — especially in the south, far east, and occupied territories. This video breaks down how these attacks are fueling a crisis at the pump.

00:00Fuel prices in Russia are exploding, and Ukraine might be the reason why.
00:04As summer kicks into high gear, Russian drivers are feeling the heat at the pump.
00:09Prices for the country's two most popular fuel blends, AI-92 and AI-95,
00:15are now hovering near all-time highs, over $900 and $1,000 per ton.
00:21Why? Because Ukrainian drone strikes have been hammering Russian oil refineries.
00:25Hits on major plants like Afipski, Ryazan and Saratov have caused breakdowns right in the middle of peak travel season.
00:33That means fewer trains and flights, so more people are driving.
00:36Add that to seasonal demand and ongoing repairs, and you've got the perfect storm for a fuel crunch.
00:42The Kremlin tried to fix it with a total fuel export ban.
00:45But that hasn't worked.
00:47And now fuel shortages are hitting Russia's south, far east, and even occupied parts of Ukraine.
00:52Still, officials won't blame Ukraine.
00:55They point to agriculture and summer demand.
00:58But with refineries down and demand up, one thing's clear.
01:01Russia's fuel problem is far from over.
