A prolonged fuel crisis in southern Russia has caused major tensions at gas stations, with drivers even involved in clashes to secure supplies.

The shortages have been recurring since Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries, which have damaged processing capacity and made fuel supplies difficult in some areas.


Due to shortages, some gas stations have imposed limits on the amount each customer can purchase. Meanwhile, vehicle lines have stretched for kilometers, causing chaos and long waits.

The situation has become particularly difficult for drivers, some of whom have spent the night in their vehicles to wait their turn and secure fuel.

Footage from gas stations shows rising tension, as clashes between drivers have become another consequence of the supply crisis.

The crisis is creating concerns for transport and economic activity in southern Russia, while attacks on energy infrastructure continue to affect fuel supplies. /Telegraph/
