Day: July 7, 2026

Russia’s domestic fuel crisis has officially reached historic and borderline absurd proportions in the Transbaikal region. Desperate drivers are waiting in massive lines for up to three days, only to be rationed a meager 15 liters of petrol per vehicle. It takes a special kind of macroeconomic mismanagement for a global energy superpower to run out of gas at its own pumps. The situation is so broken that local entrepreneurs are now charging fees to drive Russian cars across the border into China just to fill up the tanks. Peak wartime economy in full display. 🇨🇳⛽️ (Source: Meduza / Ostorozhno Novosti)
