There is a sign at the beginning of the video that mentions some town in 12(or 23)km distance, and a second one “Donetsk” 103 km. Based on the russian flag on the dashboard i assume he is moving from russia east to west, so 100km driving distance to the east of Donetsk is close to the russian/ukraine border. It’s very likely that fuel supplies in that area have been the target of Ukraine attacks, or that the fuel for this gas station has been diverted to the russian army operating in that area instead.
Not sure if this one video here reflects that state of fuel supply in all of russia.
One tank would use enough fuel for a great many of those cars.
Logistical problems in getting fuel to areas near to Ukraine indicates there could also be problems in getting fuel to the front lines.
Even assuming the Russian military is needing to divert the relatively small amount of fuel from nearby gas stations to the front, that indicates they’re in a desperate situation.
Hopefully Ukraine continues this until it is felt Moscow and St. Petersburg. So far this has affected mostly the periphery of Russia.
This is amazing.
Tha one guy having to push his car to the station.
So every dude there is haggling and taking their sweet time, now that the price of gas is high.
Reminds me of the line of cars in my neighborhood at the 1 working gas station around after Katrina hit
Holy shit, that was WAY longer than i was expecting.
Any context?
Ukrainian UAVs struck 24% of Russia’s oil refining capacity in August. Five of the seven targeted refineries completely or partially halted operations.

Okay, but what’s with the line of cars and how does that relate exactly? I can speculate given all that, but someone else would be better to fill in.
These cars are all waiting in line to donate some of their oil to make the refinery better again. Like a blood drive.
No oil - no fuel. This is the line to the gas station.
They should start drone striking the gas stations.
