Can fuel shortages force Putin to negotiate?

Tvp

Ukraine has launched a wave of drone attacks against Russia’s energy infrastructure over the weekend, striking refineries in the Krasnodar and Yaroslavl regions overnight Sunday. This comes as Putin publicly acknowledged fuel shortages in Russia, while insisting that the situation is “not critical.”

Speaking to TVP World, NAKO Executive Director Olena Tregub discussed the worsening situation in occupied Crimea, the impact of Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s fuel infrastructure, and whether stronger economic pressure could bring the Kremlin to the negotiating table.
