Fights are breaking out at petrol stations across Russia as repeated Ukrainian strikes on oil facilities and logistics hubs disrupt fuel supplies, with Russian state television even admitting that parts of the country are running short of petrol.A Ukrainian drone onslaught overnight took out two giant Kremlin energy complexes in Nizhnekamsk and Saratov, both engulfed by infernos. A military airfield was also set ablaze at Borisoglebsk in Voronezh region and 19 tankers were hit.It was confirmed that the country's largest refinery in Omsk, Siberia, is the latest to halt production following an audacious long-range attack.Shortages of petrol and diesel are paralysing Russia with gargantuan queues at filling stations where prices are spiralling, and people are losing patience.One Telegram video appears to show two pairs of men trading punches outside a petrol station as a shocked onlooker films the brawl, saying: 'It's so scary to live like this.'Another clip shows a woman yanking a petrol pump away from a motorcyclist accused of jumping the queue. 'I've been waiting an hour,' he protests, prompting others nearby to shout back: 'We've been here for four hours!'The latest videos join a growing stream of footage from across Russia over recent weeks, showing ordinary people from Moscow to Crimea brawling over dwindling fuel supplies.Other clips show motorists throwing punches at petrol pumps, while one video appears to capture a man pulling a gun on someone accused of queue-jumping.

'I still remember, my generation remembers, how food was actually rationed…..in 1992…'We endured it. And we will endure it now. I have no doubts at all that [the enemy] do all of this so that we, like in 1917, run off to overthrow the dear Tsar, and then make such a mess of things ….'Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the RT media empire, warned: 'I do not think this is that kind of time for us now.'So I urge everyone: be calmer, stay calm. It is hard, yes, very hard. Be calmer about holding parties, too. This is not the time.'She failed to mention the million-plus Russians killed or maimed by Putin's failing war.At the same time, Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov made it clear when the dictator could use nuclear weapons.'If something is threatening the very existence of the Russian state, nuclear arms will be used,' he said.'Otherwise, no. It is very important to understand this.'He told Swiss TV that Russia was 'quite capable of continuing the operation and achieving results that are successful for us without it [using nuclear arms]. And we are doing that.'Ukraine should surrender to Russia's demands on sacrificing territory 'and the next day, the war will end,' he said.Ukraine's strikes overnight hit the Nizhnekamskneftekhim petrochemical plant at Nizhnekamsk, in Tatarstan, with the column of smoke visible from miles away in neighbouring cities.The Saratov oil refinery was also hit, with one person killed.Ukraine also struck a key Gazprom compressor station in the Krasnodar region, which pumps gas to Turkey via Blue Stream.This came as the energy behemoth's stock fell to its lowest level for 17 years amid Russian concerns for its future.The Borisoglebsk airfield is a base for Su-34, Su-35S, and Su-30SM aircraft, used in the war against Ukraine.Two more tankers sailing to Rostov-on-Don were hit by drone attacks.And Ukrainian drones hit nine Russian 'shadow fleet' tankers in the Sea of Azov, Kyiv's drone forces commander said on Wednesday.In the past 72 hours, a total of 19 tankers had been hit, Robert Brovdi said in a statement on Telegram, as Ukraine intensifies efforts to isolate Crimea.Earlier Russia staged strikes on Kyiv in a bid to hit the makers of FP-5 Flamingo cruise missiles, as well as long and medium range drones.The Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said 'In the Desnyanskyi district, storage facilities are on fire as a result of a missile strike.'In the Sviatoshynskyi district, there's a fire in a non-residential building.'The damage comes as a European state intelligence report recently revealed that Russia risks an 'explosive' banking crisis.The two-page report also revealed that half a million Russians went bankrupt last year.

The report says this has lumbered banks with risks, as the economy teeters.The Economy Ministry cut its gross domestic product​ growth forecast to 0.4 per cent in 2026 from 1.3 per cent previously and to 1.4 per cent in 2027 from 2.8 per cent.The intelligence report, titled 'Note on the probability of a banking crisis in Russia in 2026', said banks have been pushed to give subsidised loans to defence companies, homebuyers and others. It noted that state-backed credit programmes, loan restructurings and government support masked the banks' vulnerability.'The situation creates the illusion of a dynamic economy that, in reality, conceals an explosive situation which an economic shock, such as an ambitious package of sanctions against banks ... could trigger,' said the report.Lending to defence firms, regional state-backed projects and homeowners has increased the amount of loans that may never be repaid, the authors said.The report estimates that 10 per cent of corporate loans are doubtful, a sharp increase from 2024, while some major banks reported retail non-performing loan ratios as high as 15 per cent in 2025.It also says that more than 500,000 Russians declared bankruptcy in 2025, up almost a third from the previous year, while state programmes encouraged more than 13 million Russians to take out at least three loans simultaneously.As the Russian war machine falters, the country's most powerful banker has broken ranks to call on Putin to stop fighting.German Gref heads the state-controlled Sberbank, by far the country's largest financial institution.Amid rising economic chaos, deepened by Ukraine's strikes on oil refineries, Gref said Russians are deeply concerned about the war's impact, which Putin refuses to stop.'I think what's worrying every one of us is one and the same thing,' he told state TV in a blunt message.'I don't think there's a single person who isn't concerned about anything other than a rapid end of hostilities, that's clear.'A former senior minister, it is unprecedented for prominent Russian officials to publicly voice demands for an end to the four-and-a-half year war.Putin-appointed Gref made clear the war with its high military spending is leading to havoc in the economy – which is suffering from petrol queues, falling wages, redundancies, soaring prices and cripplingly high interest rates.He warned Putin: 'We have already overcooled the economy.'Gref spoke as a poll showed 81 per cent of Russians want the war to end, the highest since the conflict began, according to the Kyiv-based Russian Institute for Conflict Study and Analysis. As the Russian war machine falters, the country's most powerful banker, German Gref (L), has broken ranks to call on Putin to stop fighting. Zelensky - who is set to hold talks with Trump at the Ankara summit - urged the alliance to take 'strong decisions' on boosting Ukraine's air defencesMeanwhile, Nato leaders are meeting in Ankara today to coordinate assistance for Ukraine in resisting Putin's illegal invasion.US President Donald Trump said Tuesday he believed both Russia's Vladimir Putin and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky want to get the war 'settled', after talking to the two leaders.'I think they both want to make a deal,' Trump told journalists after arriving in Ankara.Zelensky - who is set to hold talks with Trump at the Ankara summit - urged the alliance to take 'strong decisions' on boosting Ukraine's air defences after a devastating Russian blitz killed nearly 30 people.The Ukrainian leader will look to convince Trump - who held a phone call with Russia's Vladimir Putin ahead of the gathering - that Kyiv is turning the tide in the war and that he should pressure Moscow back into serious peace negotiations.
