Ukrainian Drone Strikes Knock Out Third of Russian Oil Refining Capacity

Ukrainian drone attacks have severely damaged Russian oil refineries, taking out one-third of the country's oil production capacity. The strikes have also begun affecting gasoline production across Russia. The most recent attack occurred overnight from May 19 to 20, when Ukrainian drones struck the Lukoil Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez refinery near the city of Kstovo in the Novgorod region, causing a fire at the facility. The systematic targeting of Russia's energy infrastructure represents a significant escalation in Ukraine's ability to strike deep into Russian territory and disrupt the country's key economic sector.
