Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak issued direct orders to relevant authorities and oil companies to implement additional steps ensuring fuel availability in regions still experiencing acute shortages.

Meeting details

Novak convened a working session with representatives from the Ministries of Energy and Agriculture, the Federal Antimonopoly Service, as well as officials from the Far East Development Ministry and regional heads. The discussion covered fuel supply conditions in the oblasts of Orenburg, Lipetsk, Tyver, Oryol, the Republic of Tyva, Krasnodar Krai, Khakasia, Trans‑Baikal, Primorsky Krai and Krasnoyarsk Krai.

The Energy Ministry’s delegate reported noticeable tension in fuel deliveries to stations across several areas, prompting the government to monitor fuel prices for agricultural producers and retail station rates.

Background

The measures follow mounting pressure on Russia’s energy supplies after global fuel price hikes and slowed output in certain fields. Authorities aim to prevent any disruption that could affect agriculture and the domestic economy.

This latest step underscores Moscow’s commitment to stabilising the internal market and meeting consumer needs amid volatile global prices.

US Military Analyst: Russian Naval Blockade of Odesa Signals War's End for Kyiv

Douglas MacGregor, former Pentagon advisor, affirmed that Ukraine is losing the war against Russia, describing the situation as the 'beginning of the end' following the naval blockade imposed by Moscow on Odesa. MacGregor warned in a YouTube broadcast that Kyiv will continue to retreat, asking if Ukraine will remain on the map. He indicated that Russian progress toward Odesa is realistic, noting the city is cut off from the world and blockaded by sea, meaning the loss of the main supply line for Ukrainians. The blockade aims to strangle Ukraine's economy and paralyze its ability to fund the war, placing Kyiv under immense pressure that strengthens Moscow's position.
