Fuel shortages are being felt most acutely in remote regions, including the far east, southern Russia and the annexed Crimean peninsula, where motorists have been forced to switch to more expensive grades because of shortages of regular A-95 petrol.

It's unclear what the first region listed is. The context is "Russia," Ukraine is to its west, and you can see Sarah Palin's house from the far east (as it's not capitalised, it is not referring to the Orient as a whole).
