Ukrainians are using VPNs to cause havoc in Russia by changing fuel station statuses on maps [View all]

in a bid to cause chaos and confusion.

A coordinated online campaign has reportedly encouraged users to alter fuel station information on digital maps across Russia, creating confusion among drivers.

The activity involves changing station statuses by marking locations with available fuel as empty or showing closed stations as operational.

Supporters of the campaign claim the effort is designed to disrupt travel decisions, increase uncertainty, and create additional pressure around fuel availability.


I really love the Ukrainians.
