Updated map of the regions of Russia where there are shortages of gasoline or diesel and how early was it first reported. As always it's worse in the occupied territories. Added 3 new regions since last update, Chelyabinsk, Murmansk and North Ossetia-Alania.

Would like to remind people we have no idea on the specific amounts of each model of armored vehicles sent or being sent by Italy (we barely have intel on the models, as it is). Sharing these kind of numbers is a bit problematic, even more so without any disclaimer.
Some 300+ Puma 6x6 and 200+ Puma 4x4 light armored vehicles, along with some 500+ M113/VCC-1/VCC-2 armored personnel carriers and 200+ M548 tracked logistic vehicles on the way to Ukraine. Also: Centauro 1 tank destroyers, but their number is unknown.
