Reuters: Ukrainian drone strikes disrupt 30% of Russia’s oil refining capacity, deepening fuel crisis as Moscow keeps exporting diesel
Recent drone attacks have disrupted nine major Russian refineries, affecting facilities with a combined capacity of around 2.2 million barrels per day.
Reuters reports that Ukrainian drone strikes have disrupted approximately 30% of Russia's oil refining capacity, impacting operations at nine major refineries. The attacks, which have been ongoing since late October, have put significant pressure on Moscow as it grapples with domestic fuel shortages while continuing to export diesel under an agreement with US President Donald Trump.
The latest strikes come in response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy vowing to continue targeting Russian oil facilities. Ukrainian strikes have affected around 30% of Russia's total primary refining capacity, processing about 300,000 metric tons or 2.2 million barrels daily, according to industry sources cited by Reuters.
