Russian Oil Refinery 'Completely Shut Down' for Months Following Ukrainian Attack, Local Governor Says
Repairs could take up to 6 months as sanctions limit replacement equipment, while 80% of regional filling stations remain open, officials said.
- On Thursday, authorities confirmed the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery in Orsk suspended operations for up to six months following a Ukrainian drone attack earlier this week.
- The Ukrainian military said Tuesday it had attacked the Orsknefteorgsintez refinery, located around 1,500 kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
- Governor Yevgeny Solntsev noted that shrapnel damaged "key infrastructure" at the site, which has an annual processing capacity of 6.6 million metric tons, complicating repairs due to Western sanctions.
- On Wednesday, Solntsev introduced fuel rationing and an odd-even license plate system, with 80% of the region's 287 filling stations remaining operational for priority vehicles.
- As the Orenburg region faces renewed energy infrastructure disruptions, officials are preparing for a worst-case scenario by importing fuel from outside the region.
