Sorry for the average ~~Joe~~ Dmitry, but this needs to happen. And I'm sure some of them are secretly happy about it, maybe even willing to help Ukraine along, from afar.

But here's an important tidbit:

“This is not the first fuel crisis; it has happened several times before the war,” said Boris Aronstein, an independent oil and gas analyst.

Meaning, Russia's economy isn't the most stable at the best of times.

Analysts say one of the industry’s main weaknesses is the lack of any real buffer in domestic petrol production. Output only just covers domestic demand, leaving the system highly vulnerable to disruption.

But, sadly:

Much of the country’s industrial fleet and military equipment runs on diesel rather than petrol, and Russia still has a surplus of it.
