Russian military strikes have destroyed up to 200 gas stations in Ukraine since early May, according to calculations by the state-run news agency TASS based on data from local authorities.
The figure represents a significant escalation in the targeting of civilian energy infrastructure, with more than 150 facilities reported destroyed as of late June.
The destruction of retail fuel networks exacerbates existing supply constraints in eastern and northern Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities recently moved to ban the retail sale of gasoline in the Sumy Region, following the elimination of all major-route gas stations by Russian strikes.
This localized ban underscores the severity of the infrastructure damage and the immediate impact on civilian mobility and logistics.
While the direct impact on global crude oil benchmarks remains limited, the sustained targeting of energy infrastructure contributes to broader supply-side uncertainty.
