What is known about the SBU attack on the oil refinery in Volgograd
According to the sources, two drones hit the primary oil processing plant, without which the plant would lose a significant part of its production capacity.
The SBU continues to systematically destroy the infrastructure that Russia uses to wage war in Ukraine. By hitting oil refineries that work for the Russian military-industrial complex, we not only cut off the logistics of fuel supplies for enemy equipment, but also reduce the filling of the Russian budget, the source reports.
What is important to understand is that "LUKOIL-Volgogradnaftoperobka" LLC is the largest producer of petroleum products in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation.
In addition, it is known that the capacity of the refinery reaches 14.8 million tons.
For the past 30 years, this plant has been a 100% subsidiary of PJSC LUKOIL
