The Ukrainian Armed Forces' drone raids on russian refineries have reached a new level and could lead to a crisis at the front and in the domestic oil products market - MO

On Friday night, judging by the announcement of the destruction of 120 UAVs by the Ministry of Attack (12 more than the previous record on May 17), the most massive drone attack of the AFU since the start of the war took place. Two oil depots in Adygea and Tambov region were hit and set on fire. On Thursday night, the Afipsky oil refinery near Krasnodar was attacked.

Until now more than 20 oil depots have already been damaged by shelling. According to The Insider's calculations damage had been caused to 15% of the total capacity of refineries.

For now, the state is compensating for the damage to oil producers, in 2023, it was 1.14 trillion rubles. But as damages are mounting the budget funds may not be enough. “There may be a sharp jump in prices at gas stations.” Gasoline production data got hidden since May 2024.
