They have already rewritten the0:08energy map of this war because Russia,0:11the world's third largest oil producer,0:13is now importing gasoline from India.0:17A country sitting on some of the largest0:19oil reserves on the planet. Until0:22recently, a net energy exporter0:24supplying much of Europe is today buying0:27back its own oil refined in India0:30because it can no longer refine enough0:32at home. Here are the numbers. Ukraine's0:35sustained drone campaign has taken0:37roughly 20% of Russia's total oil0:39refining capacity offline. Production of0:42gasoline for armored vehicles has0:44dropped by 25%. And Russian gasoline0:47production is now running about 20%0:49below domestic demand. At least 50 of0:52Russia's 83 regions are now officially0:55reporting fuel supply problems.0:57Unofficial reports are coming in from0:59nearly everywhere else. On the ground,1:03the scenes are surreal. Drivers from1:06Moscow to Siberia waiting up to 18 hours1:09in line. regions banning portable1:11canisters to stop hoarding. In Urkutsk,1:14police finding people for reselling1:16gasoline on the black market at four1:18times the national average. Crimea1:21imposed a full ban on fuel sales to1:24ordinary citizens on June 21st, a1:26measure that has since spread. And three1:29regions, including Urkutska and1:31Transbal, have declared a state of1:33heightened alert. And the Kremlin's1:35response tells you how serious this has1:38become. Russia has begun importing1:40gasoline from India on a large scale. At1:43least 60,000 metric tonses have already1:46been shipped with more on route. The1:48Russian state Duma is fasttracking a1:51subsidy to cover the gap between Indian1:53market prices and shipping costs. India,1:56Russia's largest crude buyer since the1:58invasion, is now selling refined2:00gasoline back at a markup. Russia has2:03also asked Kazakhstan for roughly 50,0002:05metric tonses. Bellarus is supplying up2:08to 150,000 tons per month. Jet fuel is2:12coming from Asia. At least 200,0002:14barrels routed through South Korea. None2:17of it closes the gap. Production remains2:2020% below demand. The geography of this2:23crisis spans a continent. Shortages2:26stretch from Moscow to Siberia and2:28Crimea, and the supply lines now run2:30from India and Kazakhstan back into2:33Russia. an energy map that would have2:35been unthinkable two years ago.2:38President Putin addressed the crisis on2:40state television, acknowledging the2:42drone attacks are, in his words,2:45obviously creating problems. He insisted2:48the shortages are not critical, but then2:50admitted there are still cues at petrol2:53stations. The equipment that keeps these2:55refineries running is expensive,2:57specialized, and largely sourced from3:00the West, where sanctions have cut off3:02the supply of spare parts. Every3:04refinery Ukraine knocks offline stays3:06offline longer, and the cascade deepens.3:09This is the strategic dividend of3:11Ukraine's drone campaign, the same3:13technology now being shopped to NATO3:15allies at the summit in Ankura.
