“This is money of his accomplices burning”: Russian partisans and Ukraine hit Siberian plant tied to Putin’s inner circle
The plant is located over 2,000 km away from the Ukrainian border and is one of Russia's largest.
Russian partisans, in collaboration with Ukraine's Special Operations Forces, launched a deep-strike operation against one of Russia's largest petrochemical complexes in Siberia. The target, the ZapSibNeftekhim plant in Tobolsk, Tyumen Oblast, is a strategic facility producing materials with military applications, including dual-use substances.
This complex, owned by Putin-linked billionaires Gennady Timchenko and the Kovalchuks, generates about 2.5 million tons of polymers annually. The insurgent movement Chornaya Iskra described the strike as targeting the money of Putin's accomplices, rather than merely the Russian economy. The successful operation extends Ukraine's deep campaign of sanctions against Russia's military-economic sector, pushing it more than 2,000 kilometers into Russia's western Siberia region.
