Ukraine knocks out 36% of Russia's oil refining capacity in under two weeks

Ukrainian drone strikes knocked out 36% of Russia’s total oil refining capacity in less than two weeks, hitting at least nine major refineries between Oct. 30 and Nov. 11, defense manufacturer Fire Point reported on Nov. 12.

The Details

The combined annual processing capacity of the Russian plants hit over the past 13 days exceeds 120 million metric tons of crude oil—accounting for 36% of the aggressor state’s entire domestic oil refining capacity.

"In under two weeks, enterprises accounting for more than a third of Russia's total oil refining capacity came under strike," Fire Point noted.
