In a remarkably candid admission, Russian President Vladimir Putin has publicly acknowledged that ongoing Ukrainian missile and drone strikes have triggered widespread fuel shortages across Russia and occupied Crimea. Speaking to oil executives and senior officials, Putin conceded that motorists and agricultural businesses are facing severe disruptions, including long queues at petrol stations and strict fuel rationing across dozens of regions.

Putin insisted the attacks would not divide Russian society or alter the war's trajectory, promising to ramp up air defenses and expedite refinery repairs. However, the admission—particularly regarding critical supply shortages in strategically vital Crimea—reveals mounting pressure on the Kremlin as the conflict continues to disrupt the Russian home front.
