Ukraine-Krieg: Angriffe legen die Hälfte von Russlands Top-Raffinerien lahm
Im September haben einer Auswertung zufolge drei der sechs größten Raffinerien in Russland ihren Betrieb gedrosselt oder eingestellt. Die Angriffe gehen derweil weiter.
Moscow - Ukrainian drone attacks have forced half of Russia's six main diesel refineries to significantly reduce or cease production in September, according to calculations by the news agency Reuters based on information from market participants. US President Donald Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to cease attacks on Russian diesel infrastructure on Sunday.
The attacks caused a fuel shortage that "saddens the world." Ukraine, whose own energy infrastructure is regularly attacked by Russia, considers the refineries legitimate military targets. According to market data, the six facilities - Omsk, Kirishi, Taneco, Volgograd, NORSI, and Perm - account for roughly half of Russia's diesel production.
Insider reports indicate that the Kirishi facility was completely shut down, while the NORSI and Volgograd refineries operate at only about a quarter of their capacity. The Taneco refinery was attacked by drones on Sunday. However, an assessment of the consequences was not yet possible according to insiders.
