Russia gripped by fuel crisis as Volodin warns of "fifth column" saboteurs

Russia is experiencing a deepening fuel crisis, with State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin calling for the issue not to be viewed through a political lens. At the same time, references to a "fifth column" suggest the Kremlin suspects internal sabotage may be behind the shortages. The crisis is putting additional pressure on Russian authorities already stretched by the war in Ukraine.
