On the night of August 30, the Defense Forces attacked two oil refineries on Russian territory.
This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
In particular, the Krasnodarsk refinery was under attack. This oil refinery produces 3 million tons of light petroleum products per year — gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel — and participates in supplying the Russian Armed Forces. Numerous explosions and a fire at the facility were recorded on the refineryʼs territory.
Ukrainian troops also struck again at the Syzran refinery in the Samara region. The enterprise produces gasoline, diesel fuel, aviation kerosene, fuel oil, and bitumen. Processing volumes by August 2025 were 8.5 million tons per year. A fire is being recorded near the facility.
- Reuters reported on August 25 that Ukrainian attacks on 10 Russian oil refineries knocked out at least 17% of Russian oil refining capacity, equivalent to 1.1 million barrels per day.
- Commander of the UAV Forces Robert "Madyar" Brovdi wrote on August 28 that Russiaʼs oil refining capacity had decreased by 21% in two weeks.
