Russia facing fuel shortages due to railway transport issues
Russian oil companies are encountering difficulties in shipping oil cargoes by rail as Russian Railways refuses to accept them for transportation, raising concerns about disruptions in domestic fuel supplies.
Gonna need some more donkeys.
Didn't Soviet Russia came down like that? Something with railway infrastructure overuse by miscommunication and subsequent transportation deadlocks?
Plus lower earnings from oil exports.
It wasn't communism, it was oil exports all the time.
The report suggests that more than 40% of daily oil shipments are being rejected,
40 % is quite a lot.
Russian Railways claims the main reason for transport disruptions is that shippers are not presenting cargo for transportation.
Huh? Does this mean they are being rejected because there's nothing to transport? I'm confused.
To me, it sounds like the rail network is falling apart from lack of maintenance, and the rail company is pretending it’s someone else’s fault that things aren’t getting shipped. Here’s a little more coherent article:
I’m still not sure if that’s the answer, and I don’t know why the stories are so bizarrely put together. But that to me is what it sounds like.
So this is why Putin is speeding up "peace" talks.
