Oil plants repairs, weaker rouble spark fuel crunch
Fuel wholesale prices jump, retail prices are capped
Government works to solve crisis by trying to curb exports


MOSCOW, Aug 31 (Reuters) - Russia, one of the world's biggest oil producers, has faced shortages of fuel crucial for gathering the harvest in some parts of its southern breadbasket and the situation may get worse in coming months, market sources told Reuters.

Traders said that the fuel market has been hit by a combination of different factors including maintenance at oil refineries, infrastructure bottlenecks on railways and the weaker rouble which incentives fuel exports.

They might as well be claiming that folks who live on a huge successful farm have nothing to eat.

It appears that Russia is stockpiling fuel for a major push in Ukraine, likely to the Dnieper...maybe all the way to Poland. Russia has something like a half million freshly well trained troops ready to go.

Oddly enough, the USSR planned for this halfway. Almost all trains in Russia are overhead electric. They wanted to save their limited petro products for what they needed them for. They realized an EV can use electricity from any source.

Then the fine people of Russia have nothing in the way of a fuel shortage. Let them eat their electricity.
