Every major Ukrainian strike on Russia’s energy infrastructure: Full list
Russian energy sites have been hit by Ukrainian strikes in what Kyiv says is an effort to strip the country of resources to fund its military.
The drone attacks have deepened Russian fuel shortages, with people reporting rising prices and long queues at filling stations across most regions.
Starting with the most recent, below is a summary of the attacks and their impact.
Local Russian authorities said on July 25 that a Ukrainian drone strike sparked a blaze at the Tyumen refinery in western Siberia, which is over 2,000 km from Ukraine. The fire was later extinguished.
With a nominal capacity of around 8 million metric tons per year, the refinery processes approximately 6 million tons of crude annually, producing about 0.5 million tons of gasoline and 2.5 million tons of diesel, according to industry estimates.
President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that Ukrainian forces attacked Russian oil facilities in Yaroslavl, roughly 250 km (160 miles) northeast of Moscow, on July 27.
The Yaroslavl refinery has processing capacity of around 300,000 barrels per day.
Salavat petrochemical complex, in the Urals region of Bashkortostan, halted operations on July 14 following a Ukrainian drone attack, industry sources said.
A fire broke out at the Afipsky oil refinery in Russia’s southern Krasnodar region as a result of falling drone debris, the emergency services said on July 14. The refinery can process over 9 million metric tons of oil per year.
Russia’s Syzran oil refinery on the Volga river in the Samara region halted operations after a Ukrainian drone attack on July 12 damaged a primary processing unit, industry sources said.
On May 21, Ukrainian drones struck the Rosneft-owned refinery. The refinery halted operations after the attack damaged a primary processing unit. It had previously suspended oil refining after attacks on April 18.
The refinery has processing capacity of 8.5 million tons per year. In 2024, it processed 4.3 million tons of crude into 800,000 tons of gasoline, 1.5 million tons of diesel and 700,000 tons of fuel oil, according to industry sources.
Russia’s Saratov oil refinery stopped oil processing on July 9 following damage from a drone attack, two sources said.
In 2024, the plant processed 5.8 million tons of oil, or 2.2% of Russia’s total refining output, producing 1.2 million tons of gasoline, 1.9 million tons of diesel and 1.0 million tons of fuel oil.
