Gasoline crisis in Russia
175
Ukraine attacks targets in Russia. The army uses small flying machines. These are called drones. They hit factories for oil and gasoline. These are called refineries. Ships with oil are also hit. Many factories are broken now. They make no gasoline anymore.
Russia has too little fuel now. This is true for the capital city Moscow. There are long lines at gas stations. People wait for many hours. Often there is no gasoline left. The prices for gasoline go up. People are not happy.
Russia stops the sale of diesel to other countries. The country wants to use the fuel itself. Russia must buy gasoline from other countries. Wladimir Putin says: The problem is short. But experts do not believe this. Ukraine wants to make the war harder for Russia.
The USA helps Ukraine too. The president is Donald Trump. He allows Ukraine a weapon factory. Ukraine shall build rockets for protection there. These rockets are called Patriot. They can stop attacks from the air. But the building takes a long time.
