Putin accuses Ukraine of sabotaging peace talks
Russian dictator Vladimir Putin claimed that Russia was allegedly prepared to resume negotiations with Kyiv after State Duma elections, until Ukraine derailed the process by attacking Moscow.
The Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery, Russia's seventh-largest oil refinery by output, suspended operations on September 25 following an attack by Ukrainian drones, according to industry sources cited by Reuters. The refinery, located in Perm Krai, Russia, was targeted in an overnight assault. Perm Krai Governor Dmitry Makhonin confirmed that Ukraine had launched the attack on an "industrial site" in the region.
Meduza identified the site as the Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez refinery. Upon the attack, a fire broke out at the plant. Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez processed 12.6 million metric tons of oil in 2024, producing 2 million metric tons of gasoline and 5.3 million metric tons of diesel fuel.
