Ukraine's drone strikes force 3 of Russia's largest diesel refineries to halt or slash output, Reuters reports
Ukraine's oil infrastructure attacks have aggravated a domestic fuel supply crisis in Russia, contributing to export bans, price increases, and sales restrictions across the country.
Ukrainian drone strikes have forced three of Russia's six largest diesel-producing refineries to halt or significantly cut output in September, Reuters reported on September 15. These attacks have contributed to nationwide fuel shortages and reduced refinery output over the summer. The six refineries — Kirishi in Leningrad Oblast, NORSI in Nizhny Novgorod, Taneco in Tatarstan, Omsk in Siberia, Perm in Perm Krai, and Volgograd — account for half of Russia's total diesel production.
Kirishi has shut down completely, while NORSI and Volgograd are only operating at about a quarter of their capacity. In Leningrad Oblast, where Kirishi is located, regional authorities have implemented fuel limits at gas stations until October 1.
