Moscow-appointed officials in occupied Crimea insist the peninsula is fully stocked, stable, and absolutely not facing shortages. Residents, however, are reporting restrictions on basic goods, lack of fuel, and a new QR code-based rationing system for gasoline that reportedly collapsed almost immediately after launch. Meanwhile, Russias militarization of everyday life continues, from a missile-themed amusement ride in Saint Petersburg to teenagers being recruited for summer work at draft offices. And at the Saint Petersburg International Economic Forum, one occupation official complained that Ukraine is trying to weaken Russias economy as if that is not what happens when you invade a country and turn your own logistics network into a military target.
