"Now you have to go fuel hunting at night" in Russia

ZAP Notícias30 August 2026 at 15:30

The fuel shortage in Russia has become so severe that citizens are forced to search for fuel at night, at a time when prices continue to rise and drone pressure affects Russian society. This situation represents a significant change in the daily routine of the population.

Surveys conducted by major Russian institutes indicate that the mood of the population has been progressively deteriorating. Discontent with prices and discouragement about employment prospects are growing complaints among Russian citizens.

Plans for the future are giving way to short-term survival strategies, as the population's anxiety grows regarding the consequences of the war started by Russia in Ukraine over four years ago. These difficulties are profoundly affecting the daily life and expectations of Russian citizens.
