A Russian man is stunned by a 35-kilometer line for gasoline. "Logistics have completely ground to a halt. Freight truc

I started seeing posts of Russia running low on fuel a week or so ago.
Maybe Putin''s days are limited?? Coming to an end??--I will believe it when it happens!!



Google:
How do you convert 35 km to Miles? The conversion ratio for Kilometers to Miles is 1 Kilometer = 0.621371 Miles. To convert 35 Kilometers to Miles, we can use this formula to calculate:

35 Kilometers = 35 × 0.621371 Miles = 21.747992 Miles

A Russian man is stunned by a 35-kilometer line for gasoline.

"Logistics have completely ground to a halt. Freight trucking is collapsing. Diesel is expensive. There's no fuel. Everywhere there are limits - 40, 50, 200 liters. It's insane!"

No need to thank tsar Putin.

an unusual step for a major energy exporter. Even Putin has publicly acknowledged that shortages and queues exist, which is unusual given Moscow's tendency to downplay domestic problems (thinking this is where Mr. trump learned it from).

If think it's safe to assert: Russia is experiencing incredible disruptions to commercial fuel supplies affecting most Russians directly, but not a nationwide collapse of its oil and gas sector... yet.

...just multiply by 5, then divide by 8.
40km × 5 >>>> 200 ÷ 8 = 25.
Like I said, close enough.
