A major oil refinery in Moscow, targeted in a Ukrainian drone attack last week, is expected to remain offline for the rest of the year. The attack caused significant damage, disrupting a substantial portion of Russia’s oil refining capacity. Sources indicate full repairs and resumed production are unlikely before 2025. This outage could lead to domestic fuel shortages and potentially impact Russia’s export capabilities. Ukrainian officials have not directly claimed responsibility for the strike, but it aligns with a recent increase in attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. The incident highlights the escalating risks to Russia’s oil sector amid the ongoing conflict. Analysts predict the disruption will force Russia to rely more heavily on alternative refining facilities.
