Recent Ukrainian drone attacks have reduced Russia’s oil refining capacity by about 30%, disrupting operations at nine major refineries and adding pressure on Moscow as it struggles with domestic fuel shortages, Reuters reported, citing two industry sources.

Ukraine's campaign against Russian oil infrastructure aims to weaken one of the Kremlin's main sources of revenue while disrupting fuel supplies for its domestic market and military. The latest strikes come as Moscow continues exporting diesel under an agreement with US President Donald Trump, despite domestic fuel shortages.

Attacks since late October have disrupted refineries across Russia, including major facilities in central Russia and the Volga region. According to the sources cited by Reuters, the combined daily capacity of refineries affected by Ukrainian attacks since late October is around 300,000 metric tons, or 2.2 million barrels. This represents roughly 30% of Russia’s total primary refining capacity of about 930,000 tons per day. However, the actual reduction in crude oil processing is estimated at up to 200,000 tons per day. Russian refineries were processing about 700,000 tons, or 5 million barrels, of crude daily at the end of October, the sources said.

Ukraine's Defense Ministry said on 4 October that Ukrainian strikes had put more than 51% of Russia's oil refining capacity out of action, according to its own assessment. Ukrainian attacks disrupted operations or caused emergency situations at nine of Russia’s 35 major refineries over the past week, according to industry sources and officials cited by Reuters. Affected facilities include refineries in Ryazan, Yaroslavl, and the Volga region. Recently, a Ukrainian drone struck the Kirishi refinery in Russia’s Leningrad Oblast, the country's second-largest oil processing plant. The overnight attack sparked a fire at the facility. Ukraine's renewed strikes followed the collapse of a proposed pause in attacks on energy infrastructure. Kyiv had suspended strikes under the arrangement announced by US President Donald Trump, but Russia continued attacking Ukraine's energy system, prompting Ukraine to resume targeting Russian oil facilities.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Kyiv would continue striking targets linked to Russia's oil sector in response to Russian attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure.

Russian forces have continued hitting Ukrainian power plants, energy networks, heating systems, and water supplies, with Zelenskyy saying that Moscow had rejected the de-escalation steps proposed by Ukraine's partners.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused Ukraine of ignoring Trump's calls to stop attacks on Russian energy targets in an article published by Kommersant on 10 November. His remarks did not address Russia's continued attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure during the proposed pause.
