The Volgograd Oil Refinery is the largest producer of fuels and lubricants in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation. It processes more than 15 million tons of oil annually, which is 5.6% of all Russian refining.
The refinery produces diesel, gasoline, and jet fuel, which are critically important for the logistics of the Russian armed forces.
We are consistently working to reduce the production capacity of petroleum products in the aggressor country and weaken its army. Russia must fully feel the consequences of its aggressive policy and stop the war against Ukraine.
