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 feel like these campaigns to turn civilians of each country against each other is not helpful in shortening the war and may just fuel it

      I think russians should not isolated from the “inconvenience” of the war their government started. Yes, it’s a hassle, but it’s also a pressure point.

      Gosh, I wish someone would make some similar pain happen in the U.S. We seem to only care about war with Iran when gas prices rise too high.
