Russian gas prices are rising — and that might sound like good news for Ukraine. But it’s actually a warning sign for Russia’s entire economy.

In this video, I break down why fuel costs at Russian gas stations are climbing, what it says about the Kremlin’s ability to fund its war, and how sanctions, refinery attacks, and old Soviet infrastructure are creating an energy problem Moscow can’t easily fix.

We’ll look at the real numbers, the impact of Ukrainian drone strikes, and what the Wall Street Journal and IMF data reveal about the limits of Russia’s oil-based economy.

This isn’t just about gas. It’s about what happens when a petrostate starts running out of profit.
