Russia’s gasoline crisis continues to spiral out of control as ordinary Russians are furious at Putin and want him to stop the war. Farmers are claiming they do not have fuel for their machines as harvest season in Russia has begun. Russia’s agricultural sector will collapse if they cannot find affordable fuel soon.
Yes, he may do that even in a literal sense, or at least destroy what’s called the Russian federation.
I doubt the federation will remain whole after this war is over. And if it collapses, Russia will lose even more power than they did when thee Soviet Union collapsed.
