How did the Ukrainian Armed Forces trigger a fuel crisis in Russia? And can the authorities handle it?

Russia’s fuel crisis is entering an acute phase. In a growing number of regions, lines are forming at gas stations and fuel shortages are emerging. Farmers are sounding the alarm. Rising gasoline prices are accelerating inflation. And all of this is happening against the backdrop of ever more strikes by the Ukrainian Armed Forces on refineries and other oil infrastructure facilities.

Do the Russian authorities have the tools to avoid fuel shortages across the entire country? How long does the Ukrainian army need to continue its campaign of long-range attacks for the crisis to become total? And what do we actually know about the consequences these strikes have already caused?
