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

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.

The Ukrainians are truly impressive in the ways they come up with to frustrate their adversaries. Very creative stuff!

.....spends excess time going overboard mending the fence Dotard put up with Ukraine.
If it were me, I would kiss Zalensky's ass bigly. Ukraine just may emerge as a European military super power.

The US would be MUCH BETTER OFF with Ukraine as a solid ally rather than whatever Dotard has done to the relationship.
The Russians ARE ENEMIES, NOT FRIENDS.

The people of Ukraine are showing the world they are here to stay. No matter what Putler says.

NEVER FORGET:

No ass kissing needed, just genuine, strong support.
