The Pentagon assessed the impact of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refining capacities

The US Defense Intelligence Agency has also noted the influence of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian naval operations.

Ukraine, with its drone attacks, disabled about 14% of Russia’s oil refining capacity. This was reported by the Bloomberg news agency in connection with the Pentagon’s intelligence agency.

The media said that the loss of part of the capacity led to an increase in domestic fuel prices by 20%-30% in mid-March. To meet the needs of the domestic market, the Russian Federation is obliged to suspend exports.

“To soften the impact of these blows, Russia banned the export of gasoline for six months starting in March, began importing petroleum products from Belarus that it planned to import from Kazakhstan , and prioritized the shipment of petroleum products through Russian railways compared to other modes of transport,” said the intelligence report of the US Department of Defense.

The attacks are still ongoing, but the analysis covers only a two-month period: from the first attack on the PJSC Novatek plant in Ust-Luga on January 21 to the attack on the power plant in Novocherkassk on March 24.

Ukraine’s actions “resulted in small power outages for the Russian military and civilian population” because “Russia has a strong generating capacity – the third largest in the world – and a high level of redundancy in its network.”

Intelligence also noted Ukraine’s influence on Russian naval operations. Due to the attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the Russian Black Sea Fleet began to avoid the Ukrainian coast and redeployed some ships from its main base in occupied Sevastopol in Crimea.

As you know, SBU drones “visited” the Tuapse oil refinery for the second time this year, which the Russians began to restore after an initial attack.
