Russia has reduced gasoline exports to non-CIS countries to compensate for unplanned repairs at refineries, the Ministry of Energy said on Wednesday, as the country grappled with the impact of fires and drone attacks on its energy infrastructure.

It said gasoline and diesel exports have been reduced in January by 37% and 23% respectively from the same month in 2023.

With Russia concentrating its air defense units on the Ukraine border and to protect Putin’s palace, the rest of the country is virtually unprotected

... and Ukraine is good at drone warfare ...

Who gives a damn?

If you care so much about Russia, immigrate there and start a coup to overthrow Putin and see how it works out.
