Drone Strikes Halt Russian Oil Refineries: Energy Tensions Mount | Science-Environment
- Two Rosneft-owned oil refineries in the Volga cities of Syzran and Saratov stopped processing this month following Ukrainian drone attacks, with the Syzran plant halting on Tuesday and Saratov last Friday.
- Ukraine has conducted drone strikes against Russian energy infrastructure since spring, damaging the Syzran refinery's main CDU-6 unit, which accounts for 71% of the plant's processing capacity.
- The Saratov facility halted crude processing on September 11; both refineries have a combined processing capacity of 290,000 barrels of oil per day, with repairs taking at least a month.
- These stoppages will likely exacerbate domestic fuel shortages in Russia, while U.S. President Donald Trump recently blamed Ukrainian strikes for surging global diesel costs.
- Despite President Trump's recent ceasefire request, Russia and Ukraine continued energy infrastructure attacks this week, as neither side has indicated readiness to agree to the proposal.
