Russian crisis escalates as 50% stations in occupied Crimea halt gasoline sales occupied Crimea halt gasoline sales. Sep 25, 2025.
For eg: Lukoil logo seen outside a petrol station in St. Petersburg, Russia. This Around 50% of gas stations in occupied Crimea and Sevastopol have stopped selling gasolie due to fuel supply disruptions, Russian pro-government media outlet Kommersant reported on Sept. 24.

Publication, citing monitoring data from 17,000 Russian gas stations.
Report said shortages were also recorded in other regions, but the situation was most acute on the peninsula. The Southern Federal District, which Russia claims includes occupied Crimea, was one of the hardest hit areas, with over 220 stations — or 14.2% of the total — suspending fuel sales. Between July 28 and Sept. 22, the number of gas stations selling fuel in Russia fell by 2.6%, with Rostov Oblast, the Mari El Republic, & Jewish Autonomous Oblast also seeing declines of up to 14%.

Syrskyi said Russian units advanced in groups 12 to 20 km deep, but Ukrainian forces anticipated the maneuver and cut them off at the Kazennyi Torets river. Anticipating such a development, we redeployed a number of military units plan to cut enemy grouping along the barrier line—the Kazennyi Torets river enemy units that had advanced in depth found themselves in a kind of ‘bag, we closed that line with actions by our Air Assault Forces units on converging axes from  north & south. Enemy ended up trapped. destruction is now actually underway,” Syrskyi stated, he reported 168 sq/km of territory have been liberated, another 182 sq/km cleared enemy sabotage groups—about 360 sq/ki in total. He compared the operation to last year’s fighting near Kursk, when Ukrainian forces used newly formed brigades to strike ahead of schedule and seize the initiative.
Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said Ukrainian forces have trapped and are destroying Russian units that advanced near Pokrovsk, after weeks of heavy fighting that shifted the front line northward. He shared this at a briefing with journalists on September 26, according to a UNITED24 Media correspondent.

Syrskyi said Moscow’s original spring and summer objectives—creating buffer zones in Kharkiv and Sumy regions, seizing the Pokrovsk agglomeration, reaching the Donetsk border, and advancing in Zaporizhzhia, Dnipropetrovsk and Kherson—“were not realized thanks to the skillful actions of our warriors, smart decisions by commanders, timely reforms, and effective strikes on the enemy rear.”

He noted that Russia has since adopted a new tactic he called the “thousand cuts,” relying on small assault teams of four to six soldiers to infiltrate Ukrainian territory, disrupt logistics, and create pressure without committing large formations. This approach, he said, has been used on the Dobropillia and Novopavlivka fronts by the 8th and 51st armies and the 68th corps.

Near Pokrovsk, Syrskyi said Russian units advanced in groups 12 to 20 kilometers deep, but Ukrainian forces anticipated the maneuver and cut them off at the Kazennyi Torets river.

“Anticipating such a development, we redeployed a number of military units. The plan was to cut the enemy grouping along the barrier line—the Kazennyi Torets river. Thus the enemy units that had advanced in depth found themselves in a kind of ‘bag.’ At the same time we closed that line with actions by our Air Assault Forces units on converging axes from the north and south. The enemy ended up trapped. Its destruction is now actually underway,” Syrskyi stated. He reported that 168 square kilometers of territory have been liberated, with another 182 square kilometers cleared of Russian sabotage groups—about 360 square kilometers in total. He compared the operation to last year’s fighting near Kursk, when Ukrainian forces used newly formed brigades to strike ahead of schedule and seize the initiative.

The Latvian company Golf Motors has already supplied the Ukrainian army with about 1000 electric scooters, which are used at the frontline. According to Ašmanis, demand in Ukraine has grown from the initial 300 scooters ordered by border control units to about 1,000 units after the Special Forces showed interest. The CEO also said that Global Wolf Motors had started developing non-standard vehicles for the frontline back in 2022. “Initially, we were developing an electric scooter for border control and mobility at military bases,” Ašmanis said. 
However, Ukrainian soldiers quickly adapted the scooters for combat use, including reconnaissance operations deep in Russian-occupied territory. In particular, sniper units have been successfully using scooters to get into the right area, complete a task and move away just as quickly. Ašmanis also described their role in the delivery of ammunition and food, medical evacuation of the lightly wounded and transportation of equipment. “If you slowly press the gas pedal, you can get out of the mud with a wounded soldier on board,” he added. Last year, Ukrainian Defense Forces requested additional Mosphera military electric scooters from Latvian company.

weight- 74 kg, max speed-100 km/h,
range-up to 300 km on a single charge.
Another advantage of such vehicles on the front line is the quiet operation of the electric scooter, which makes it harder for enemy drones to detect than motorcycles or all-terrain vehicles. Ukrainian soldiers riding Global Wolf Motors scooters. Ukrainian soldiers riding Global Wolf Motors scooters.

Today, the biggest news comes from the Russian Federation. From Belgorod to the Far East, Ukraine’s refinery strike campaign has triggered a nationwide fuel collapse, with the effect being felt from the frontlines in Ukraine, to the capital cities of Moscow and Saint Petersburg. The Russian state has officially blamed seasonal demand and harvest pressure, but the real cause is undeniable: repeated drone strikes have wiped out a significant portion of Russia’s fuel production, storage, and distribution network, and public unrest is starting to grow. Russian officials
admitted there is no longer enough fuel to meet domestic demand, now the situation has moved far beyond issues, according to both state & independent sources, at least ten Russian regions are reporting widespread fuel shortages. These include Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, Saratov, Rostov, Leningrad Oblast, the Primorsky and Zabaikalsky regions in the Far East, as well as in Russian-controlled territories of Ukraine. Russia’s Independent Fuel Union has confirmed that deliveries to many stations have stopped completely. Many private fuel stations have shut down entirely, and others have imposed strict limits on purchases, banning canister refills or requiring pre-approval by local authorities. In areas where stations are still operating, drivers face queues several kilometers long all around Russia, as widespread rations are being introduced.


On the front lines, the situation is even worse, as in Donetsk and Luhansk, Russian soldiers are forced to wait in two-to three-hour lines for refueling. Even then, fuel is rationed, and troops are increasingly paying out of pocket. In Berdyansk, gas stations completely out of fuel, forcing civilians to search the entire city for supplies. Melitopol has reportedly not received a single delivery since early September. All of this coincides with repeated targeting of depots, pumping stations, and distribution pipelines by Ukrainian drones. As a result, Russian-controlled territories in Ukraine are just as paralyzed as those in Russia-proper. This has serious ops implications, with armored movements stalling logistics chains heavily degraded. The home front is not faring much better, as shortages have even spread to Moscow & Saint Petersburg, including surrounding districts. In Leningrad Oblast, the Lukoil network has banned all canister refills. In the Far East, long queues in Primorsky Krai have forced regional officials to introduce a coupon system to receive fuel. In Belgorod, entire districts have run out of everything except for the most expensive A100 gasoline and diesel. The situation in Crimea is even more fragile, as half of all fuel stations on the peninsula have shut down entirely. In Simferopol, Sevastopol, and Feodosia, coupons are now required for any purchase and are being resold on black markets and Russian online marketplaces. In total, 360 gas stations have currently shut down due to lack of fuel, with 14% being out of commission in the south, usually known for its plentiful and cheap supplies.

Public unrest is beginning to build, as the Russian Communist Party has staged protests at major gas stations, questioning why domestic prices are rising in an oil-rich country. Since the beginning of the year, fuel prices have surged by more than 50 percent, a clear sign that price controls are failing to keep up with reality. However, the supply side tells the real story, as private gas station owners, who control approximately 40% of the Russian market, are shutting down. The Russian Energy Ministry has quietly stopped publishing regional breakdown of fuel availability to prevent further public protest, maintenance schedules at major refineries like in Omsk are being postponed, not for efficiency, but because taking them offline for repair would trigger further shortages across the country. Running out of options, movements of heavy tankers have been spotted in Crimea to lighten the crisis slightly, however almost immediately these were struck by Ukrainian drones, as Russians are quickly running out of options. Last week, Putin summoned the heads of Russia’s major oil companies to the Kremlin for urgent neet. And just days before, CEO of Russia’s state nuclear agency was found dead in the streets of Moscow, laying near his car with a rifle beside him and a suicide note; being the 20th Russian energy official to die under suspicious. circumstances. 

Overall, Ukraine’s oil strike campaign has forced Russia into a energy crisis. Russian state can no longer guarantee consistent fuel supplies to either the military or the public. Shortages have reached heart of country.

The Russia’s territorial advances in Ukraine slowed significantly in Sept, with enemy forces seizing 44% less land compared to August, Ukrainian monitoring group DeepState reported on Oct 1st 2025. Russian troops captured approximately 259 sq km
(100 sq miles) of Ukrainian territory during last month, just 0.04% of Ukraine’s total area. This marks the smallest monthly gain since May. In total, Russia now occupies around 19.04% of Ukraine’s territory. Ukraine's most significant losses in September occurred near the village of Novopavlivka in Donetsk Oblast. DeepState analysts described this sector as one of the most challenging sections of the front.

In the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian forces reportedly managed to sustain effective defense. Analysts noted that roughly one-third of all Russian assaults were concentrated on the town of Pokrovsk & surrounding areas. "Cost of every meter here is significantly higher. Russia approached the town from the south, and urban combat differs greatly in complexity from fighting in open areas. Additionally, there is virtually no defensive depth remaining," the report read. Over the past month, Ukrainian forces have been pushing back Russian troops who had advanced 15-20  km (6 miles) toward the strategic Dobropillia–Kramatorsk highway, near the contested city of Pokrovsk. Since late August, Ukrainian units have recaptured several villages in the region, including Zarichne, Novoekonomichne, and Udachne.

Leontiev, 61, previously served as the head of the Russian-installed administration in the town of Nova Kakhovka, taking the position in April 2022 — shortly after Russian forces seized control of the area. He then held a senior position in the Moscow-installed local council.

Trump greenlights US intelligence sharing for Ukraine’s long-range strikes on Russian energy infrastructure, WSJ reports:
U.S. will begin providing Ukraine with intelligence to support long-range missile strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure, marking the first time Trump administration has approved such aid, The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) reported on Oct. 1.

President Trump recently authorized the Pentagon and intelligence agencies to aid Kyiv with the strikes, and Washington is urging NATO allies to expand similar cooperation. The decision reflects a deepening U.S. commitment to Ukrainian assistance as peace talks with Moscow have stalled. Officials said the intelligence will allow Ukraine to target “refineries, pipelines, power stations and other infrastructure far from its borders” in an effort to weaken Russia’s war economy, admin is also weighing the delivery of Tomahawk and Barracuda missiles, which could hit targets up to 500 miles away“We are awaiting written guidance from the White House before sharing the necessary intelligence,” one U.S. official told the WSJ. This development comes amid Trump’s shifting rhetoric on the war in Ukraine. As his efforts to broker peace between Kyiv & Moscow have thus far not succeeded, Trump has grown frustrated with Russian President Vladimir Putin and recently made his most pro-Ukrainian statements so far.

New plan for Ukrainian defense companies manufacture in NATO ally Denmark: Means Ukrainian companies can manufacture away from threat of Russian attacks. Denmark also says it will own industry can learn on Ukrainian expertise. Ukraine's defense industry is setting up shop. Offering Kyiv's arms makers protection from Russian missiles and bringing battlefield know-how to Europe.  Denmark's industry & finance ministry announced recently Ukrainian defense company Fire Point moving production processes to the country, to "creates new opportunities for cooperation with Danish & European companies." It's the first step in a new initiative called "Build for Ukraine," which Denmark has allocated $50 million-plus to help Ukrainian defense firms start operations. Project lets Ukrainian companies produce in conventional ways rather than hiding or breaking up production process to avoid being a target for Russian missiles and drones.

For Denmark & allies, cooperation offers firsthand experience of Ukrainian companies making weapons for major war, insight is invaluable. The rest of Ukrainian companies churning out howitzers, missiles, drones, & more are still doing so domestically. But it's a step welcomed by defense industry. Serhiy Goncharov, CEO @National Association of Ukrainian Defense Industries (NAUDI), which represents about 100 companies, said it gives Ukraine more production options, with reduced danger,  funding, he added, also helps Ukrainian producers who have much more capacity but are limited by Ukraine's defense budget.

Related storiesHigh costs & long waits for popular US-made Patriots just drove a NATO ally to pick a European rival. As drones disrupted airports, they also turned up at an F-35 stealth fighter base. Troels Lund Poulsen, Denmark's defense minister pointed out that this new plan means "production cannot be stopped by Russian attacks." Kharkiv suffered a series of Russian missile attacks for  month's, they hit all across Ukraine, often in huge barrages. So production sites have been hit. The Malyshev Factory, which makes tanks, for eg, has repeatedly been hit by Russian, drones & missiles, but been able to repair damage & continue operations. New
initiative help production much safer. Russia has previously threatened to strike Western targets, saying, for instance, it could target any bases that host Ukraine's F-16s. But it has launched no major attacks; doing so could trigger a major conflict with NATO. In Denmark, risk is much lower than in Ukraine, where companies have to plan for attacks, a tremendous hindrance. Ukraine has to break up production.

Gonchaov said Ukrainian companies have to be mobile, ready to change their locations quickly, and have bomb shelters, steps require extra planning & resources. He said producers ideally work underground, but a costly & not always an available option. Losing machinery to attacks can result in months of delay potentially jeopardize contracts, some companies did to afloat, also cause "heartbreaking" loss of skilled Ukrainian personnel, he said.

Misha Rudominski, CEO of Himera, a Ukrainian company produces secure communications systems, told Business Insider company has to split manufacturing across different sites &  keep stock in another place to avoid creating a big target "worth it" for Russia to hit. Many companies, he said, split production into "5, 10, 15 locations," often with just a few dozen people at each site. Big, centralized ops are pretty rare, unless they're underground, he said.

A boost for Denmark
Denmark views supporting Ukraine's defense industry as way to strengthen its own, particularly as it warns — like many other European nations — Russia could attack NATO country in coming years. Poulsen, when first announcing the Build for Ukraine initiative in June, said it "will provide the Danish Armed Forces with easier access to some of the newest technologies & experiences from Ukraine," a challenge via some other means due to export controls.

For eg: naval drone Magura Ukrainian weapons makers are making products like naval drones. Denmark's industry business minister, Morten Bødskov, said partnership "brings us closer to realizing great potential of Danish defence industry." By way of a "tragic" situation, he said, Ukraine's defense industry can also learned & gained valuable experiences "that our own industry can now more easily benefit from." Denmark previously expressed interest in learning from Ukraine's industry too. Poulsen told Business Insider in February that he wants Danish defense companies to work with and learn from Ukrainian ones so  both can "get something out from lessons learned from the defense companies in Ukraine back to Danish defense companies." "I think we have a lot to learn from Ukraine," he said, particularly w/regard to manufacturing at speed. Denmark is not alone. NATO officials have praised Ukraine's speed and innovation and said Western firms should take note. How quickly project
scale up is key for Ukraine, as it continues trying to defend against Russia's larger military. But it's in Ukraine's long-term interest, as it seeks to integrate itself further into Europe's defense network, ultimately "ensure a higher degree of integration of Ukraine into European defence industry."

Goncharov said Ukraine is keen to Support European defense and is not just a place partners can send money or equipment, arguing Ukrainians "can provide our knowledge, our expertise, our technology to co-produce it for European needs abroad also for Ukrainian needs," he said.

Russia has spent 22 months, at least 2 combined-arms armies, and 13,000 soldiers in the Kupiansk direction for nothing but blood and ashes. Ukrainian artillery, aviation, and drones strike not only the frontlines but also logistics hubs behind them, with extended supply lines further choking Russia’s offensive. RFU News asks: this disaster has fueled a strange speculation: could the Russian commander of this offensive, Lieutenant General Serhiy Storozhenko, in fact be Ukraine’s best spy? Storozhenko was once a decorated Ukrainian officer, the commander of the 36th Marine Brigade. But during the Russian takeover of Crimea in 2014, he defected, and witnesses recall how he encouraged his men to surrender weapons and side with Russia, though he later claimed he had simply resigned. A week after the phony referendum that followed up, he received a Russian passport and soon headed a new brigade for the enemy. By 2022, he commanded the 35th Army in the Kharkiv region, which suffered a humiliating collapse at Izyum. Instead of punishment, he was promoted to Lieutenant General in 2023 after whitewashing several post-operation reports, and given command of the Russian 6th Army, which is now being bled to death outside Kupiansk, RFU News says.

Ukrainian long drones attacked the Orsknefteorgsintez oil refinery in Russia's Orenburg Oblast on Oct. 3, a source in Ukraine's Security Service (SBU) told the Kyiv Independent.

Facility lies 1,400 km (870 miles) from Ukraine-controlled territory.

Founded in 1935, Orsknefteorgsintez is one of oldest largest refineries in the southern Urals, with annual capacity of 6.6 mil tons of crude oil. Regional Governor confirmed attack but claimed ops at refinery were not disrupted.

The Russian are redeployment the 90th Tank Division could prove pivotal. The 25,000-person division—the biggest in the Russian army—had been fighting along the northern part of the southern Donetsk front while lighter units fought further south.
