Russia’s fuel crisis continues to deepen as shortages spread across the country, turning ordinary trips to the gas station into hours-long ordeals. In many regions, drivers are waiting for hours – or even more than a day – to refuel, while any station where a delivery of fuel arrives is quickly overwhelmed by long queues.
