Almost every Russian region hit by fuel crisis , as Ukraine escalates drone attacks
What it means
Widespread fuel shortages inside Russia caused by Ukrainian drone strikes on energy infrastructure have historically been associated with a modest upward risk premium in crude oil, as markets price in sustained damage to Russian supply. Safe-haven assets like gold may also see a small bid as the conflict escalates. The effect on global crude is tempered by the fact that Russia's internal fuel crisis does not directly block exports at scale.
