Fuel issues and attacks in the neighboring region
In the neighboring Russia-Ukraine war, attacks against energy networks have come to the forefront, directly affecting the region's security of supply and the population's sense of security. Significant fuel supply disruptions have occurred in Russia, while Ukraine's critical infrastructure has been hit by severe missile strikes.
Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that difficulties have arisen in the country's domestic fuel supply. Simultaneously, Ukrainian drone attacks hit two more Russian oil refineries, which could further limit the availability of refined products. These developments may impact the region's supply stability through the international energy market.
On the other side of the conflict, Russian forces attacked Kyiv (the capital of Ukraine) and several Ukrainian energy facilities with ballistic missiles. The targeted strikes aim to paralyze the electricity supply, while heavy fighting continues on the front lines due to the slow advance of Russian troops.
