Another blow for Russian President Vladimir Putin – another refinery has completely stopped working after the Ukrainian drone attack. The Saratov oil refinery, one of the oldest oil processing plants in Russia, has completely halted operations after a drone attack, Reuters reports. According to reports, the refinery has stopped processing crude oil following damage caused by the airstrike.
The facility is considered one of the main fuel production centers in the Volga region and is of great importance for Russia’s energy supply. The refinery outage is another blow to the Russian energy sector, which has faced repeated drone attacks on oil and gas facilities in recent months.
The Saratov refinery is part of the strategic infrastructure of the Russian energy industry and the disruption of processing could affect the production and supply of fuels to the domestic market. /Telegraph
