Ukrainian Drone Strikes Halt Production at Major Russian Oil Refineries
Recent Ukrainian drone attacks have led to the shutdown or reduction of production at several major oil refineries in central Russia. The Kirishi oil refinery, one of Russia's largest, has been closed since May 5. Other affected sites include refineries in Nizhny Novgorod, Ryazan, Yaroslavl, and Moscow. These facilities collectively account for 30% of Russia's gasoline output and 25% of its diesel output. The attacks have significantly impacted Russia's refining capacity, which totals 83 million metric tons annually. The Kstovo oil refinery was targeted on May 20, marking the second attack on the site within a week. The strikes have caused fires and disruptions in production, highlighting the ongoing conflict's impact on Russia's energy sector.
