Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Russia is importing petrol, calling it the rightful result of the work of the Security Service, the Armed Forces, intelligence and Ukrainian weapons manufacturers.

Quote: "Today, there were also reports on our entirely justified strikes against Russian targets – against their logistics and fuel infrastructure. I am grateful to our warriors for their precision. Russia chooses war, Russia destroys our people’s lives, and must be held accountable – our long-range capabilities will increase.

    It’s hard to get definite info from there, but some experts* say the economy is way worse off than what they show the West.

    OTOH China is helping them…

    * and I mean that unironically.

      That’s quite probable. Also even help from China is probably not sustainable. Let’s hope it crumbles, the sooner the better.

        It looks to me like China isn’t really interested in helping Russia win. They are helping Russia just enough to keep fighting and throwing away, well, everything.

          It will be hilarious when China takes back far Eastern ruzzia, and maybe Siberia and a chunk of the Arctic too. Pootin the midget has well and truly fucked his pariah country forever. Ruzzia will be paying reparations for all time, and the location of Pootangs grave will be forgotten

      Of course. When you’re waging war you don’t show weakness to your enemy.

      What I find stunning is how little clue the standard Russian citizen has. They know there are fuel shortage but they don’t know why.
