According to Reuters, the cumulative emergency downtime at Russian refineries due to UAV raids has reached 3.5 million tons, a figure ten times higher than the previous two years.

The drone attacks in March paralyzed nearly a tenth of fuel production in the Russian Federation. Approximately 13% of the total capacity of primary oil refining units at Russian refineries are currently in emergency downtime mode.

The number of damaged installations has tripled, and by mid-March, the volume of emergency downtime was 1.4 times higher than planned repairs.

Considering only refineries producing gasoline and diesel fuel, the economy has lost approximately 9% of production, equivalent to 77.4 thousand tons per day.

This drop in production has led to a surge in wholesale fuel prices in Russia.

Other estimates stated 600,000 barrels per day of Russia's oil refining capacity was disabled as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes, - Gunvor.‌‌
