De ce a condus un cuplu de ruși 10.000 km pentru a-și lua o mașină nouă? 39 ore, doar la o coadă la benzină • Newsweek România

A Russian couple traveled nearly 10,000 km from Vladivostok to St. Petersburg to buy a new car, facing a 39-hour wait for fuel due to shortages. The lack of Western cars in Russia, following sanctions, has led to a thriving gray market for imported vehicles. Their journey highlighted the severe fuel crisis in Russia, exacerbated by drone attacks on oil infrastructure, which have reduced refining capacity significantly. As a result, fuel restrictions are affecting over 40 regions, with long waits and limited purchases at gas stations becoming common.
