Ukraine is increasingly alarmed by what appears to be a deliberate Russian campaign against fuel stations. In recent weeks, there has been a noticeable rise in drone strikes specifically aimed at gas stations, even those located well behind the front lines. Ukrainian media and experts have voiced worries that these attacks are becoming more frequent and systematic.

According to reports, the strikes are directed at fuel infrastructure, suggesting a strategic effort to disrupt supply chains. Analysts warn that such tactics could cause significant disruptions to fuel availability, affecting both civilians and military operations. The fact that attacks are occurring in areas previously considered relatively safe has heightened concerns.

While Russia has not officially commented on these operations, Ukrainian officials and experts see this as a potential new phase in the war. The impact on Ukraine's fuel market is being assessed. Ukraine is calling on the international community to take note of this worrying trend.
