A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.
The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.
Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.
the fact that the map itself is completely untrustworthy is a testament to how chaotic and broken the fuel economy is in Russia. you need nothing more than the fact that it’s unreliable to understand just how bad the crisis is.
