So I got this question "What is Russia's plan for the fuel shortage?" And I want to say the following, why do you assume there's a plan? They can mildly increase production by lowering quality and using more light petroleum products that would go to other industries. But that's a band-aid on a gaping wound. Belarus can export a bit to Russia but it's again a mismatch of what is needed and what can be offered by a factor of at least 10. Russia never had the facilities to really stock up on fuel during the winter so they had to export. They also couldn't build massive storage facilities between the last shortage and now and fill them in because proper storage tanks in depots of sufficient volume are built over a few years not a few months. Their refineries use foreign equipment from the west. Last year a single breakdown of a foreign produced vacuum pump took multiple months to resolve. They also can't just cheaply import loads of fuel as they lack sufficient facilities to unload ships at scale. Export terminals and the pipelines that feed them flow the other way. There is no plan. Hope to make it till December without fuel riots and hope they get much better at repairing refineries and hope Ukraine gets worse at hitting said refineries. Putin's made it a problem of the governors and is annoyed he has to address some fuel crisis that's beneath him in his opinion. Because he's not that good at domestic governing to begin with. When a crisis comes, he goes to his mansions and leaves it to the governors. There is no plan. If there was one they would have handled the jet fuel shortage before airports issued NOTAMS they're out of fuel. There wouldn't have been the need for light aircraft to try to fly on gasoline cause there's no kerosene. All they have are hopes and prayers. Expect Patriarch Kiril to start blessing refining units.
