Drones on refinery: the Russian largest oil refineries closed in the Russian Federation

To spread: According to the hacker group Anonymous, the Russian oil industry is dismantled by Ukraine. The oil infrastructure campaign is gaining momentum, said Tom Kloza, Opis representative, and oil prices. Four large Russian oil refineries have stopped working after Ukrainian drone attacks over the last month. Newsweek writes about it with reference to different sources. In 2024, daily production of crude oil in Russia reached a 20-year minimum, which was caused by UAV.

The economic consequences of this are enormous, since the reduction of oil production in the Russian Federation not only deprives it of its ability to finance its military efforts, but also reduces the amount of income from one of the key export goods. The Russian Sizran Oil Refinery "Rosneft" suspended its work on February 19. One of two unnamed sources in the industry told reporters that "the processing was temporarily stopped at ELOU-6 due to a fire.

" The refinery in Samara has experienced several Ukrainian attacks during 2024 and is located about 700 kilometers from the Russian-Ukrainian border. Andriy Kovalenko, the head of the Ukrainian Center for Combating Misinformation, wrote that the refinery has "the process of processing 8. 9 million tons of oil per year, which makes it one of the average in size of refinery in the Russian Federation", produces "fuel, aviation and bitumen".

At the end of January, the Russian Ryazan Refinery also stopped work. Two anonymous representatives of the industry reported Reuters at the time that the oil was lit. "The rail load equipment was damaged. There was no load of rail, they stopped the oil processing," the publication said. Another source said that the refinery stopped the work because he could not ship oil. Ryazan refinery processed 5% of the total volume in the Russian Federation in 2024.

The Lukoil NPP in Volgograd was forced to suspend its work after the Ukrainian drone strike on February 3. According to Bloomberg, it has recently partially restored oil production. Gazprom gas processing plant in Astrakhan also closed its doors after UAV. Anonymous activist group wrote that "Ukrainian defense drones have successfully destroyed the Russian Ryazan Oil Refinery. All Russian oil industry is dismantled by Ukraine.

" "Another night and another case when Ukrainian drones hit the Russian oil refinery. This time, the Sizran Refinery in Samara region became about 400 miles from the border with Ukraine. - wrote in the X 19 February 19, Tom Kloza, the global head of energy analysis in Opis. Recall that Russian troops intensify military logistics and will no longer depend on the Crimean bridge due to the launched rail from Rostov to Mariupol.
