Ukraine Attacked Russian Oil Refinery in Yaroslavl, Zelenskiy Says
Ukrainian forces said they used long-range drones to target the refinery, part of a broader campaign that hit 11 Russian oil facilities this month.
- On Friday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukrainian forces struck the Yaroslavl oil refinery on Thursday night, located about 700 kilometers from Ukrainian territory.
- Seeking to disrupt Russia's oil industry and slash revenue funding the war, Ukraine has hit 11 Russian oil facilities this month as of May 21.
- Yaroslavl Governor Mikhail Yevrayev claimed the attack was repelled, though debris may have fallen near the 300,000-barrel-a-day facility, targeted twice previously in May.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed fuel shortage concerns on Thursday, attributing lower output to "seasonal maintenance works" and insisting overall supply and demand remain balanced.
- Zelenskyy stated the operation aims to bring the war "back home" to Russia, as drone attacks have forced major central Russian refineries to halt or scale back operations.
