Ukraine's strikes on Russian oil refineries and depots are just the beginning, Kremlin Z-war correspondent Alexander Kots believes. In the fall, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will begin systematically targeting Russia's gas and electricity infrastructure. He stated this on air on the state radio station Komsomolskaya Pravda. Kots called on Muscovites and all Russians to prepare, because the hardest blows from Ukraine are yet to come. Russia will experience the same energy collapse it has been trying to inflict on Ukraine for the past two years. "Moscow is also preparing, because it's absolutely clear that after the fuel infrastructure, they'll target the gas infrastructure. It's absolutely clear that in the fall, they'll start hitting the thermal power plants, to give us a 'happy' life before winter... It's absolutely clear that their Flamingo missiles will reach us, and sooner or later, they'll develop ballistic missiles," Kots said.
For several months, Ukrainian forces have been targeting energy infrastructure in Russian regions and on the illegally annexed Crimean Peninsula. Russian supply routes in the occupied territories, as well as key oil refineries inside Russia itself, have come under attack.
In June alone, refineries in Moscow, Nizhnekamsk, Tyumen and Volgograd were struck. In May, a total of 16 refineries were attacked. As a result, gasoline production has fallen by 25%, Reuters reported, citing its own sources. Russia is currently producing only 85,000 metric tons of gasoline per day, while summer demand stands at 110,000 metric tons per day.
"This summer, Russia appears to be heading toward what could be the worst fuel crisis in its history," experts at the US think tank Energy Intelligence said. On June 28, Russian President Vladimir Putin publicly acknowledged "certain fuel shortages" for the first time.
"There is some damage," he said in an interview on Russian state television, adding that all the damaged facilities are being repaired fairly quickly, and the problems are not critical.
"Putin was forced to openly admit that the problem exists," Zavadskaya, a political scientist at the Finnish Institute of International Affairs, told DW. "Most importantly, he identified the cause of the problem — Ukrainian drone attacks."
According to estimates by the Russian business outlet RBC, 40 Russian regions have already introduced restrictions on fuel sales. According to the independent Russian news outlet Vyorstka, which analyzed official information and eyewitness reports, as many as 78 regions may be affected. In many cities, long lines have formed at gas stations. Christina Harward, an expert at the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, said Ukraine had already attempted to strike Russian refineries in 2025.
"What's different this year is that Ukraine has clearly scaled up the quantity of their drones and the quality of their drones. They've improved the range of their drones and, for the past couple of months, they've also been undertaking an effort to identify and destroy Russian air defense systems," Harward said. At the same time, Ukrainian forces are trying to disrupt the Russian military's supply routes near the front line. According to Harward, the growing number of strikes on targets between 20 and 200 kilometers behind the front lines "is a new development from the Ukrainian side in this war."
