Russian cities are experiencing long queues at gas stations with fuel shortages spreading nationwide, with some areas completely out of gasoline. Reports indicate gas stations are using passwords to prioritize government and military officials, exposing desperation in Russia's fuel crisis. The shortage is visible and acute.
When gas stations ration fuel by priority and passwords, a civilian economy is failing. Russia's fuel crisis shows the war is straining supply lines in ways that affect civilian life visibly. The fact that stations are prioritizing officials suggests the government expects shortages to worsen and is protecting essential functions. This is an economy under strain, not merely affected.
