It's interesting that a war and hundreds of war crimes from massacring a village's population, child rape by Russian soldiers, to shooting down civilian passenger planes don't bother the Russians, but are now close to riot over fuel.
Russians continue to aim harsh tirades at their dictator over the spiraling fuel crisis, as the population now allocates all waking hours to the hunt for gasoline.
Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to destroy refineries, only this morning hitting the nation's 2nd largest.
The Kremlin keeps trying to project stability.
Meanwhile, the fuel crisis will last months, fuel stations have security now, the Duma is warning bread will run out, and officials are jumping the fuel queues.
When stability disappears, it does so very quickly and unexpectedly.💥

Fedorov: Interceptor drones are a new genre of war developed in Ukraine. We already see the trend: Shaheds are being intercepted by these drones.
In May alone, Ukraine intercepted almost 7,000 Shaheds and Gerberas with interceptor drones.
