Russia is preparing for a fuel crisis

As Tizenhausen noted, Russia has already banned the export of diesel until August 31. This is all happening against the backdrop of record high gasoline prices on the stock exchanges.

Russia's actions demonstrate that they are preparing for a fuel crisis. This is an extremely serious problem for Russia. Now they are thinking about how to protect their refineries. At least how to protect the most vulnerable expensive units. It is very difficult. Who knows what a big refinery is. It's like a town. “It’s very big,” Tizengauzen said.

In one of the videos of attacks on another oil refinery in Russia, the sound of machine gun fire was heard. Probably, so far the occupiers have tried to shoot down the drones only with the help of small arms.

It is important that not only oil refineries are under threat of destruction. The European part of Russia is home to a huge number of other important elements of the military-industrial complex. Don't forget about gas equipment.

There's a lot of stuff there. This is a raw materials country, a gas station. Oil Gas. Everything there is stuffed with various units of equipment, which are concentrated in the European part of Russia. Closer to us. It's not bad. The range of the drones was also amazing. They fly 900 – 950 kilometers and successfully hit, Tizengauzen emphasized.
