Will Russia still be experiencing petrol shortages on July 15, 2026?

Por quê: Contemporary reporting in mid‑July 2026 shows continuing fuel shortages, rationing and long queues in many parts of Russia. A Russian news report dated 2026-07-15 (Gazeta) explicitly says that while queues disappeared in about 13 regions, significant shortages, limits on sales (including odd/even rules and QR systems) and long lines persisted in many other regions. Reuters (2026-07-16) likewise reported fuel shortages, sales restrictions and long queues across Russia in its mid‑July coverage, corroborating that the problem was ongoing around 15 July. (Other outlets in the supplied evidence — Al Jazeera, AP reprints, Fortune, Meduza — also reported similar conditions in early/mid‑July.)
