Russia is experiencing severe fuel shortages. Families, including mothers with infants, are waiting 18 hours in line to buy gasoline. The shortages are being driven by Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries.
Fuel shortages create cascading problems. People can't get to work, supplies don't move, heating and electricity become harder to maintain. An 18-hour wait for gas is the sign of a system under serious stress. The strikes on refineries are military action in an active war, but the consequence is civilian hardship—people waiting half a day for fuel.
