Harsh weather conditions and vast distances pose a great challenge for the transportation of petroleum products and other goods in Russia.

Russia is a country with the largest east-west stretch in the world. The major cities in Russia are far apart on great distances from each other. Above all, Russia majorly lies between the higher latitudes which makes it a temperate region.
