Ukrainian forces struck Russia's Ufa oil refinery and a missile component plant in Penza, as reported by President Zelenskyy. Ukraine's drone attacks have disrupted Russian fuel supplies and military logistics, while Sweden agreed to provide Gripen fighter jets to support Ukraine.

Gas stations in Moscow and Northern Russia have introduced fuel rationing. The Kremlin acknowledged reduced gasoline production in some areas but stated there are no risks of nationwide shortages.

Ukraine targeted the Ilsky Oil Refinery in Russia’s Krasnodar region for the fourth time this year, disrupting Russia’s oil sector and contributing to declining refinery output, rising fuel prices, and fuel rationing measures expanding to the Moscow region.

The Australian government has revealed contingency plans for retail fuel rationing, including daily purchase limits per vehicle, in response to warnings that global oil supplies could reach critical levels by August. The International Energy Agency has warned that oil markets will enter a 'red zone' by August. Documents obtained by Guardian Australia under freedom of information show the government is preparing for potential fuel supply shortages.

Sweden is preparing to implement fuel rationing measures amid concerns that an Iran-related war could destabilize its economy. The potential conflict poses a significant threat to economic stability, prompting proactive resource management strategies.
