Not enough is being allocated to everyone. There’s a catastrophic shortage of gasoline,” he said.Other service members also described worsening shortages.One mobilized soldier estimated fuel supplies had been reduced by about 30%, adding that the restrictions affect not only military vehicles but also trucks transporting ammunition and food to the front.A soldier serving in the Zaporizhzhia sector said his unit used to receive 20 liters (5.3 gallons) of gasoline for supply runs but now receives only 10-15 liters (2.6-4 gallons). As a result, he and his comrades are forced to walk 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) to collect water, food, and other supplies.Other troops told Verstka that gasoline has become increasingly difficult to obtain. Some said they now buy fuel from local residents for 200-300 rubles ($2.55-$3.82) per liter, while others rely on fellow soldiers returning from leave to bring fuel in canisters from Rostov-on-Don.
