Ukrainian Forces Attack Russian Oil Refineries – Latest News
As a reminder, on June 2nd, Ukrainian military personnel again struck deep into Russian territory. In Kuban, the Ilsky Oil Refinery (NPZ) was targeted, and a drone control point was destroyed in the Belgorod region. Concurrently, it became known that a Ukrainian Neptune missile disabled equipment at the Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery.
On the night of June 3rd, explosions were heard near St. Petersburg. Local residents reported on social media that the St. Petersburg Oil Terminal was under attack.
Due to persistent Ukrainian drone attacks, Russia has been compelled to prohibit the export of aviation fuel. This is the Kremlin’s attempt to avert a shortage, as the country’s oil product output has fallen to a 16-year low. Furthermore, Russia is beginning to experience issues with the supply of regular gasoline and diesel fuel.
