As Bloomberg reports, the consequences of Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries have led to a reduction in the average volume of Russian oil refining to the level of 2009. The average level of oil refining has decreased to 4.69 million barrels per day.
This is the lowest figure since December 2009.
As “FACTS” wrote, the Ukrainian Defense Forces carried out a powerful strike on Tuapse on April 28. It completely destroyed four more large tanks for storing petroleum products at the Tuapse Refinery.
Also, the other day in Perm, Russia, the infrastructure of one of the largest refineries in the Russian Federation, Lukoil-Permnaftoorgsintez, was hit.
