Ukraine attacks drones with Russian refineries and the Kremlin postpones their renovation

Russian oil refineries will take over the planned renovations in order not to interrupt the work and supply adequate fuel supplies," said Russia's Energy Minister Sergei Civil. There are fuel shortages in the Russian marketplace following attacks by Ukrainian forces on petrochemical plants.

– Additional measures have been taken to prevent speculative price increases: coordination of logistics and speeding up fuel supply to all regions," he said on Wednesday Civils referring to fuel shortages at petrol stations.

In September, partial restrictions on diesel exports were introduced and restrictions on petrol exports were extended by the end of the year.

Ukrainian attacks on refineries

The problems of the Russian oil sector arise from Ukrainian attacks on refineries, pipelines and fuel storage. The deficiencies occur, among others, in occupied Crimea, in the European part of Russia and in the Far East, and in the full country are estimated at at least 20 percent.

Ukraine attacks Russian refineries mainly utilizing its own production drones, which are able to accomplish targets even 1500-2000 km from the front line.
