Over three days, Ukraine struck three Russian oil refineries, disabling about 10% of their capacities. This information was released by analysts from the OSINT channel Dnipro Osint.
Targeted Enterprises
The attacked facilities include:
- Novokuibyshevsk Oil Refinery
- Bashneft-Novoil
- LUKOIL-Nizhny Novgorodnefteorgsintez
The total annual processing capacity of these refineries is approximately 30-33 million tons of oil, which constitutes nearly 10% of Russia's total capacities.
Impact on the Russian Economy
Disabling such significant capacities could have a profound impact on Russia's oil refining industry. A reduction in oil processing volumes may lead to fuel shortages in the domestic market and decrease the country's export capabilities.
Further Actions by Ukraine
These strikes indicate that Ukraine continues to implement a strategy aimed at weakening Russia's military and economic capabilities. Future actions may include new attacks on critical infrastructure that holds strategic significance for the aggressor.
