[Is Putin's new offensive hanging? As the fuel crisis in Russia intensifies, how long can the war last? 】

In the early morning, Ukrainian drone groups once again launched an attack on the Engels Air Force Base, an important location in southwestern Russia. The sound of explosion echoed in the night sky of Saratov Prefecture. This place where long-range bombers can be parked has been attacked several times, but it has not been severely damaged, with only some minor damage.

Penza State, hundreds of kilometers away, also heard an explosion at the same time. There was a problem with the main oil pipelines and the gas main pipelines, and one after another could not work properly. The local officials quickly described this as an accident in the exercise, but the losses were too great, so big that people outside felt that this might not be that simple.

The Korovka oil depot in Belgorod Oblast soared into the sky. The governor admitted that the Ukrainian attack caused damage to the oil storage tank, but he said the fire had been controlled. This continued blow to the energy nodes is slowly cutting off the supply line on the Russian front. Although the oil transport convoy was constantly being air strikes, Moscow still insisted on sending additional oil transport convoys to the Ukrainian border.

The gas stations in the border areas have turned off their sign lights one by one, and gasoline prices in occupied areas are rising faster and faster. Civil statistics have found that food prices are getting higher and higher every year. Opposition parties pointed out that official data intends to make the inflation crisis lighter.

Under the shadow of fuel shortage, the logistics support required for the Russian army's autumn offensive has become increasingly doubtful. Although the Kerbert Korz still publicizes the new combat plan with high profile, the oil rationing system shared by frontline soldiers and rear civilians has cast doubt on the sustainability of the war.
