Ukrainian Drone Strikes Disrupt 30% of Russian Oil Refining Capacity
Recent Ukrainian drone attacks have significantly impacted the Russian energy sector, disrupting approximately 30% of the country's oil refining capacity since late October. According to industry sources reported by Reuters, these strikes have targeted nine different refineries, creating substantial operational challenges for Moscow. The disruption is intensifying domestic fuel shortages within Russia and complicating the nation's ability to maintain its diesel export volumes. This escalation in kinetic activity against energy infrastructure poses a growing risk to global oil product supply chains and shifts the strategic landscape of the ongoing conflict.
