Russia's fuel crisis is so bad that a mom and her baby waited in line for 18 hours to get gas
'Are we in the Soviet Union?'
The fuel shortage ravaging Russia has forced motorists around the country to wait in endless lines to fill up, evoking memories of communist-era privation.
Ukraines months-long campaign of drone strikes on oil infrastructure deep inside Russian territory has forced refineries to shut down. Energy analysts have estimated that 25% or more of Russias refining capacity has been taken offline by the attacks.
The head of Russias biggest oil company even called the damage to refineries unprecedented, according to a letter to President Vladimir Putin that was leaked to Russian newspaper Kommersant.
The long-range drones and widespread shortages mean Russian civilians far from the frontlines are suffering the effects of Putins war on Ukraine.
