Moscow has secured a deal to use the private Kondensat refinery in Kazakhstan, though analysts state this capacity is too small to close the production gap. Treasury chief Bessent links these strikes and conflict in Iran to a surge in oil prices toward $100 and tightened diesel supplies, which has resulted in record U.S. exports and low inventories on the U.S. East Coast.Why it mattersUkrainian forces have targeted Russian energy infrastructure to degrade https://www.live-feeds.com/feed/ukraine-s-record-strikes-push-russians-back-to-gasoline-lineshttps://www.live-feeds.com/feed/ukraine-s-record-strikes-push-russians-back-to-gasoline-lines#u53689Tue, 01 Sep 2026 08:11:39 +0000Ukrainian drone attacks on oil refineries have reduced Russian gasoline production to 70% of domestic demand. This shortfall has caused gasoline lines to return across Russia and triggered a search for oil imports. In occupied Crimea, sustained strikes have led to blackouts and fuel shortages. Russia is expected to extend its diesel export ban through September to stabilize internal supplies.

This production drop has caused gasoline lines to reappear across Russia and forced the Kremlin to scramble for oil imports. In occupied Crimea, sustained strikes have resulted in fuel shortages and blackouts. To stabilize internal supplies, Russia is expected to extend its diesel export ban through September.
