Attacks on Russian oil refineries

As is known, Ukraine is striking Russian oil refineries and other fuel facilities to reduce the occupiers’ ability to support their military operations.

In January, Ukrainian drones struck the TANECO oil refinery, one of the largest and most modern in Russia, which can process more than 16 million tons of oil annually.

And in early February it became known that as a result of a drone attack, the work of the Astrakhan gas processing plant was stopped .
