Moscow has started importing gasoline from India after Ukrainian drone strikes disabled about one-third of Russia's refining capacity, producing a 17% fall in petrol production and widespread rationing and long queues across more than half of Russia's regions.Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered stronger air defenses, faster repairs and limits on petrol and aviation fuel exports while downplaying the severity of the shortages; officials are also considering a diesel export ban.Analysts say Western sanctions will extend repair times by months and warn that supplies could worsen during the agricultural season when diesel demand rises, while Ukrainian President
Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the strikes aim to cripple Russian military logistics and increase public pressure on the Kremlin.
