Ukraine Claims Its Attacks Have Taken Out More than Half of Russia's Oil Refining Capacity
Kyiv said the strikes are aimed at draining Russia’s war economy and supply lines as long-range attacks hit multiple refineries and fuel facilities.
- On Sunday, October 4, Ukrainian Defense Minister Yevhen Khmara announced that Ukrainian long-range strikes have disabled 51% of Russian oil refining capacity, hampering Moscow's ability to supply its forces during the ongoing invasion.
- Khmara reported that systematic strikes targeted critical facilities including KINEF, Ust-Luga, Moscow, Yaroslavl, Perm, Ilsky, Saratov, and Syzran to drain the Russian war machine of essential economic and military resources.
- Overnight on October 2, Ukrainian Defense Forces targeted a facility in the Samara region, where explosions ignited a fire at the Samara Linear Production and Dispatch Station, according to ASTRA.
- The 51% reduction in refining capacity represents a significant blow to Russia's economy and its ability to sustain the war and supply troop formations, officials stated.
- Ukraine's Defense Ministry will continue scaling up deep-strike capabilities, having tripled production and procurement this year to further deprive the enemy of resources needed to wage war.
