The Russian Minister also admitted that due to the closure of a number of refineries in Russia, fuel supply problems have arisen in the east of the country.
The Russian Ministry of Energy has acknowledged the closure of several Russian oil refineries as a result of Ukrainian drone strikes. Russian media reported it.
According to Russian Energy Minister Nikolai Shulginov, the Russian government is discussing with oil companies the possibility of increasing fuel production at refineries where it has not been stopped, as well as the possibility of changing the schedule for scheduled repairs .
At the same time, he assured that “the forecast for the volume of oil refining in Russia remains at the level of last year,” when it reached 275 million tons of oil.
The minister also admitted that due to the closure of several refineries in Russia, fuel supply problems have arisen in the east of the country.
Let’s recall that in one night SBU drones attacked three factories in Russia – in the cities of Ryazan, Kstovo and Kirishi. On March 12, drones disabled one of the most powerful oil refineries in Russia, LUKOIL-Nizhnegorodnefteorgsintez.
The latest attack by Ukrainian drones caused the closure of three oil refineries in the Russian Federation. Thus, Russia lost 12% of its oil refining capacity.
According to media reports, 13 Russian oil refineries have been attacked since the beginning of the year.
As reported, attacks on refineries in Russia led to an increase in gas prices in Europe.
