Recent Ukrainian Attacks Have Reduced Russia’s Oil Processing Capacity By 30%, Sources Say

Nov 10 (Reuters) – Renewed Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian oil refineries since late October have reduced Russia’s oil refining capacity by about 30%, two industry sources said.
Ukraine’s attacks on Russian oil refineries add to Moscow’s difficulties in addressing domestic fuel shortages as it ships diesel to international markets under an export deal with US President Donald Trump.
Ukraine has stepped up strikes on Russian refineries since the end of October, when a ceasefire on attacks on energy facilities that Trump announced between Kyiv and Moscow failed to take hold.
Ukrainian attacks disrupted operations and caused emergency situations at nine of Russia’s 35 major refineries over the past week, according to industry sources and officials.
