Ukraine - Russia Conflict



Data from the Russian GdeBENZ fuel-monitoring service shows gasoline availability in Moscow collapsing from 53% in early August to roughly 20% by mid-August and possibly lower today.
In Moscow Oblast alone, availability fell from 62% to just 23%, meaning less than 1 in 4 of the monitored stations had fuel available.In Moscow proper, only 1 in 5 monitored stations had fuel available.Nationwide, GdeBENZ reported fuel available at only 28% of tracked stations as of 19 August, while at least 59 regions had imposed fuel-sale restrictions by 20 August.The results are stark. At AM on 23 August, Moscow motorists were still waiting in long lines to fill up.
The even better news is that the current fuel shortage will have serious impacts on Russia's ability to conduct a large-scale mobilization and sustain military training and operations in Ukraine and throughout Russia.
And why is the Russian press and sheeple mostly silent on this? First, the Kremlin-run state media won't report bad news, and the sheeple won't risk ending up as Igor Strelkov's cellmate.
