Russian channels reported fuel queues forming in Belgorod city amid ongoing power outages on February 3, 2026, between 7:15 PM and 8:15 PM UTC, exacerbating disruptions to water supply systems already affected in multiple districts, according to @wartranslated on X within the 59-minute reporting window. The fuel shortages follow Beloblvodokanal's 7:00 PM UTC report of power losses at all water intakes and the pumping station supplying Khargora, plus wastewater facilities, disrupting supplies in Rakityansky, Krasnoyaruzhsky, and parts of Yakovlevsky districts, as well as Shebekino, Maslova Pristan, and Grafovka, as previously stated by @bbbelgorod on Telegram. White House Press Secretary reiterated at an unspecified time that morning that President Donald Trump was unsurprised by Russia's latest strikes on Ukraine, noting the conflict stemmed from previous administration weaknesses, per @SavchenkoReview citing Leavitt on X during this period. These developments occur amid cross-border tensions, with prior reports of heavy Russian strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure following a reported pause agreement with President Vladimir Putin.
