The regional government recommends online meetings to save fuel, noting that vehicles used by government officials consume about 4,000 gallons of gasoline monthly. Similarly, Novosibirsk has advised businesses to allow remote work and residents to limit private vehicle use amid fuel supply disruptions following Ukraine\u2019s strike on the Omsk oil refinery, one of Russia\u2019s largest. Ukraine\u2019s drone campaign continues to target Russia\u2019s energy facilities,including refineries and fuel depots,as part of a broader strategy to weaken Moscow\u2019s war effort. Since 2025, Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, including recent strikes around Moscow, causing significant disruptions to fuel production and distribution.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Officials in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/russia\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"80\">Russia\u2019s<\/a> Tomsk region are urging government employees and citizens to work remotely and limit travel as the country\u2019s fuel shortage worsens amid increased <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/ukraine\/\">Ukrainian<\/a> pressure on Russia\u2019s <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/section\/policy\/energy\/\" type=\"category\" id=\"35\">energy<\/a> infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCurrently, given the significant distance of most municipalities from the regional center, officials are additionally advised to plan official trips in more detail and to make greater use of remote interaction formats,\u201d the Tomsk regional government <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.riatomsk.ru\/article\/20260709\/tomskie-vlasti-sovetuyut-chinovnikam-berech-benzin-i-soveschatsya-onlain\" type=\"link\" id=\"https:\/\/www.riatomsk.ru\/article\/20260709\/tomskie-vlasti-sovetuyut-chinovnikam-berech-benzin-i-soveschatsya-onlain\">said in a statement<\/a>, recommending online meetings to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-cities-consider-banning-common-traffic-move\/\" title=\"US Cities Mull Banning Common Traffic Maneuver\">reduce fuel consumption<\/a>.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/policy\/energy\/4640698\/white-house-discount-freedom-fuel-gas\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>White House rolls out discounted \u2018Freedom Fuel\u2019 gas stations<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/justice\/4635657\/doj-investigating-oil-companies-over-manipulating-gas-prices\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>DOJ investigating oil companies over manipulating gas prices<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/world\/4630769\/afd-end-russian-boycotts\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>AfD wants to end German boycott on Russian energy, says failed Ukraine invasion shows Kremlin is no threat<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The government said vehicles used by the governor\u2019s office, regional legislature, human rights commissioner, and other state agencies consume roughly 4,000 gallons of gasoline each month.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The neighboring city of Novosibirsk has taken similar steps.
