The largest oil refineries have been targeted by the Ukrainian Armed Forces since late October
Since October 30, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have carried out strikes against Russia’s five largest oil refineries.

This was reported by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Drones reached the Omsk, Kirish, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and Yaroslavl refineries, which are among the five most powerful in the country.

“Smaller but no less important to the enemy—the Novokuybyshevsk and Saratov refineries—were also targeted. Defense forces are systematically taking Russian oil refining facilities out of commission,” the statement reads.

On November 11, the Ukrainian military struck Russia’s most powerful oil refinery—the Omsk refinery.

It is capable of refining more than 21 million metric tons of oil per year and has one of the highest oil refining depths in Russia (about 99%).

Reports of strikes on the Kirish and Saratov refineries have also been confirmed.

“On the night of November 9, Kinef LLC (‘Kirishinefteorgsintez’) in the Leningrad Region was struck. This plant has an installed capacity of about 20 million metric tons of crude oil per year and accounts for more than 6% of Russia’s total oil refining capacity.

It produces a wide range of petroleum products, including fuel for the aggressor state’s military. “As a result of the strike, the atmospheric tubular oil refining unit (AT), the ELOU primary oil refining unit, and two cooling units were damaged,” the statement noted.
