  • Russian fuel shipments to troops fighting in Ukraine last month hit the highest level since the invasion began.

  • A report from Bloomberg said Wednesday fuel deliveries to troops reached nearly 220,000 tons in September.

  • The move is part of Putin's full mobilization of troops as the conflict drags on into its ninth month. 

Russia is stocking troops fighting in Ukraine with fuel, with last month's shipments reaching the highest level since the onset of the invasion.

A report from Bloomberg Wednesday said shipments of diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel touched nearly 220,000 tons in September, sent primarily to the six Russian regions that border Ukraine and the recently annexed Donetsk and Luhansk.
