A massive fire ripped through the Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka refinery on August 14, halting a facility that processes over 15 million tons of oil per year—5.6% of Russia’s refining capacity. Ukraine’s military confirmed its drones carried out the strike, part of a sustained campaign to cripple Russian fuel production.
This attack follows a string of August UAV operations hitting key refineries in Sochi, Saratov, and infrastructure in Bryansk, knocking out an estimated 10% of Russia’s refining capacity. With production drops reported in Saratov, Ryazan, Samara, and Volgograd, and fuel prices nearing $2.93 per gallon, Ukraine’s drone strategy is reshaping the war’s energy front.
