Los ataques con dronesCourses disproportionately against Ukrainian refineries Russian refineries reduced Russia’s oil-refining capacity by approximately 30% since the end of October. The strikes disrupted nine of the country’s 35 largest refineries and contributed to fuel shortages, retail restrictions and limits on fuel exports.
Puntos clave
- Since late October, Ukrainian drone attacks have reduced Russia’s oil-refining capacity by about 30%.
- Nine of Russia’s 35 largest refineries were disrupted during the latest week.
- The affected refineries have a combined nominal capacity of about 300,000 metric tons, or 2.2 million barrels, per day.
- Russia’s total primary oil-refining capacity is approximately 930,000 metric tons per day.
- The actual reduction in crude-oil processing may reach 200,000 metric tons per day.
- Affected facilities include refineries in Ryazan, Yaroslavl, the Volga region and the Kiriishi refinery.
- Fuel shortages returned in at least six Russian regions, prompting retail sales restrictions.
Por qué importa
The attacks have impaired a significant portion of Russia’s primary oil-refining capacity and are associated with fuel shortages, restrictions on sales at filling stations and limits on domestic fuel exports. The estimated reduction in crude processing of up to 200,000 metric tons per day shows the impact on Russia’s energy market and fuel supply.
Qué ha ocurrido
Since late October, Ukrainian drone attacks have targeted Russian oil refineries and reduced the country’s refining capacity by about 30%. During the latest week, strikes disrupted nine of the 35 largest refineries, whose combined nominal capacity is approximately 300,000 metric tons, or 2.2 million barrels, per day. Russian refineries processed about 700,000 metric tons, or 5 million barrels, of crude oil per day at the end of October, compared with total primary refining capacity of roughly 930,000 metric tons per day. Ukrainian forces attacked the Kiriishi refinery, the country’s second-largest facility, overnight on November 9. The disruption was followed by renewed fuel shortages in at least six regions, with restrictions on gasoline and diesel sales at filling stations and bans on canister sales in some areas. Ukraine reportedly resumed strikes after October 30, when an energy ceasefire announced by Donald Trump between Kyiv and Moscow did not take effect.
Cómo lo cuentan las fuentes ucranianas
Ukrainian coverage emphasizes the scale of the strike campaign, the reduction in Russian refining capacity, damage to individual facilities and Ukrainian intelligence’s assessment that 15 of 38 major refineries had been taken out of operation. It also highlights the resumption of attacks after October 30 and the strike on the Kiriishi refinery.
Cómo lo cuentan las fuentes internacionales
International reporting focuses on the estimated effect on Russian refining capacity and crude processing. Reuters sources reported disruptions at nine of the largest refineries, fuel shortages across several regions, restrictions at filling stations and Russia’s earlier controls on fuel exports.
Dónde difieren las versiones
Reports differ in the number of major Russian refineries disrupted: one report identifies nine of the 35 largest refineries affected during the latest week, while another cites attacks on eight large refineries over the preceding two weeks.
Contexto
Before the late-October attacks, Russian refineries processed approximately 700,000 metric tons, or 5 million barrels, of crude oil per day. Russia had already restricted fuel sales and exports because of earlier attacks and fuel shortages. The refineries affected by the latest attacks have a combined nominal capacity of about 300,000 metric tons, or 2.2 million barrels, per day, while Russia’s total primary refining capacity is approximately 930,000 metric tons per day.
