Motorists in Moscow are facing long queues and fuel shortages as Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries intensify. Some petrol stations have run out of fuel, while others are limiting purchases. President Vladimir Putin has acknowledged supply problems but says they are not critical and insists the strikes have not affected Russia's military position. As attacks on energy infrastructure continue, the impact of the war is becoming harder for many Russians to ignore.
