Have you tried not occupying a sovereign nation's land? I hear that helps a lot with not getting your shit blown up

He complains that the private sellers who are still open charge crazy prices of 130-140 rubels per liter.
140 rubels are 1,65€ ( = $7,12 per gallon).

And nowhere in that rant are they asking why they’re closed.

I am able to bear his discomfort with immense fortitude.

Tja.

Oh no how unfortunate.

Rest in piss asshole.

Try vodka, like in the good old days.

Moscow has intact power infrastructure. To a certain extent, it might be possible to compensate for fuel shortages by use of EVs --- like, bring in electric busses, EVs, battery-powered scooters, ebikes.

It looks like virtually all of the power generation infrastructure in the Moscow area is natural gas, other than one coal plant, CHP-22.

I kind of wonder how vulnerable the natural gas transmission pipeline network that reaches those plants is to sufficiently-accurate long-range missiles or truck bombs.

EDIT: Actually, according to the above wiki link, CHP-22 may not be able to use coal any more:

According to its operator Mosenergo, the plant in 1998 was powered by natural gas (85.6%), coal (14.2%), and fuel oil (0.2%).[38][39] According to company reports, the plant currently runs on gas with coal being used as reserve fuel.[26] In 2018 it was reported that the plant would stop burning coal at an unspecified time in the future.[40] In December 2020 and April 2021, the company again mentioned their intention to switch the power plant to operate on fuel oil as the reserve fuel instead of coal.[26][41] The transition to gas- and fuel-oil-fired operation will be completed by 2027, including the retirement of the remaining pulverized-coal boilers, dismantling of ash disposal facilities, and site remediation.[37]
