Five of the five largest refineries in Russia were damaged by the defense forces.
From October 30, Ukrainian "long-term sanctions" came to the refineries of Omsk, Kirish, Ryazan, Nizhny Novgorod and Yaroslavl, which are among the five most powerful in the country. Smaller, but no less important for the enemy, the Novokivishevsky and Saratov plants were also under attack. Defense forces are systematically disabling the Russian refinery.
Almost 2,500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. This is what separates Omsk from the front line, and there on November 11 a fire broke out at the most powerful refinery in the Russian Federation. Units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine attacked the Omsk refinery, a giant of Russian oil refining that fuels the war against Ukraine every day.
It is capable of processing more than 21 million tons of oil per year and has one of the highest oil processing depth rates in the Russian Federation (about 99%).
The results of the Kirish and Saratov refineries have already been confirmed.
On the night of November 9, LLC Kinef (Kirishinefteorgsintez) was hit in the Leningrad region. This plant has an installed capacity of about 20 million tons of oil per year and supplies more than 6% of all oil refining in Russia. It produces a wide variety of petroleum products, including fuel for the needs of the aggressor state's army. As a result of the impact, the atmospheric tubular oil refinery (AT), the main oil refinery ELOU and two cooling facilities were damaged.
Even earlier, on November 7, PJSC "Shartovsky Refinery" was damaged. The project with a capacity of about 7 million tons of oil per year operates for the needs of the military-industrial complex and the armed forces of the Russian Federation. The single main oil processing unit of AVT-6, two fuel hydraulic treatment units, pipelines and a 10,000 m3 tank where ignition occurred were damaged. The project work was stopped.
Attacks on primary processing facilities reduce the production of fuel for the Russian military and reduce the income from which Russia finances the war.
