Russians have faced massive gas shortages in recent weeks after long-range drone strikes hit oil refineries, with some drivers waiting in lines as long as 30 hours or more to fill their tanks. Last month, it was reported that the shortage had spread to at least 78 of Russia\u2019s 83 regions, affecting some 50 million people, the Telegraph reports.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Putin has responded by deploying the National Guard (Rosgvardia) to patrol gas stations outside Moscow, amid local reports of fights breaking out at the pumps as drivers race to fill up before supplies run out. Russian officials have reportedly been comfortably filling up their own tanks.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, major fuel suppliers have reimposed limits on gasoline purchases, contradicting assurances from Putin and other Kremlin officials that the country\u2019s fuel crisis was easing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe situation will gradually improve,\u201d Putin said in mid-July, weeks after admitting that Ukraine\u2019s attacks on his oil refineries have resulted in Russia facing a \u201ccertain shortage\u201d of fuel.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak offered a similarly upbeat assessment later that month, saying \u201cthe balance is now better, and the situation at gas stations is significantly better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=5799\">All The Times Trump Was With Blonde Aide, 35, While Melania Was Missing<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In August alone, Ukraine\u2019s drones have struck nearly a third of Russia\u2019s major oil refineries, the Telegraph wrote.<\/p>\n<p>This is just the latest struggle Putin has faced since he launched his \u201cspecial military operation\u201d in February 2022. Also this week, Sochi, a Black Sea beach resort favored by Putin, was battered by a Ukrainian counter-offensive.<\/p>\n<p>Now, the formerly pristine waters are laden with fuel, and the beaches, once packed with tourists, are deserted.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, Russians are reportedly pulling billions from their bank accounts over fears that Putin could grab their money to fund his war as the tide appears to turn.<\/p>\n<p>Depositors have pulled out nearly $3.4 billion in just the first two weeks of August\u2014on top of a staggering $11.8 billion yanked in June and July.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cDrones are flying. Things are burning down. Nervousness is growing.
