The proximity of the plant to the Ukrainian border makes it important for the enemy in terms of logistics, Andrei Kovalenko said.
The oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk (Rostov region of the Russian Federation), which was hit on Thursday night, plays an important role for the defense industry of the aggressor country. The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation under the National Security and Defense Council, Andrei Kovalenko, wrote about this in Telegram on December 19.
“Diesel fuel and jet fuel are critical sources for military equipment, tanks, armored vehicles and aviation. The plant provides supplies of these types of fuel to the Russian army,” he explained.
According to Kovalenko, the proximity of the plant to the Ukrainian border makes it important for the enemy in terms of logistics.
“Lubricants, fuel additives and other products produced by the plant can be used both in the civilian sector and in the military industry. Therefore, this plant is a military target,” he added.
We remind you that tonight there was a big fire at an oil refinery in Novoshakhtinsk. Eyewitnesses wrote about a large number of drones, as well as a possible missile strike.
And on Wednesday night, the Russians announced a missile attack on the Taganrog Metallurgical Plant in the Rostov region. Later, the CPD reported that we are talking about one of the largest chemical enterprises in Russia, which is engaged in the production of rocket fuel and explosives.
