Residents in Russian-controlled Crimea are grappling with gasoline rationing as Ukrainian drone attacks disrupt supplies from Russia. Russia is facing almost daily Ukrainian attacks on its oil infrastructure, while Western sanctions make crude exports more costly. Ukraine's drone attacks have focused on key supply routes to Crimea, including across southeastern Ukraine and via the Kerch Strait.
