UKRAINE STRIKES SIX RUSSIAN REFINERIES AND A MILITARY PLANT IN ONE WEEK
Ukraine struck seven strategic facilities across Russia in just one week, extending its campaign against the fuel production, military manufacturing and revenue that keep Moscow’s war running.
The targets were:
▪️ Moscow Oil Refinery
▪️ Perm Oil Refinery
▪️ Novoshakhtinsk Oil Refinery
▪️ Bashneft-UNPZ Refinery
▪️ Kuibyshev Oil Refinery
▪️ Ilsky Oil Refinery
▪️ Iskra military-electronics plant in Ulyanovsk
The map shows approximate distances from Kyiv, not confirmed launch sites or flight routes. Nevertheless, it reveals the extraordinary reach Ukraine has developed. The targets range from Novoshakhtinsk near the Ukrainian border to the Perm refinery approximately 1,600 kilometers from Kyiv.
The damage is also producing measurable consequences. The Moscow refinery reportedly stopped processing crude after fires affected its two principal processing facilities, while the Novoshakhtinsk refinery suspended operations following the latest strike. Fires were reported at several of the other sites, although complete damage assessments remain unavailable.
The Iskra plant supports a different part of Russia’s war machine. It manufactures components for military communications and radio-electronic equipment and has reported links to the production chain for Kh-59-series guided missiles.
Ukraine does not need to destroy an entire refinery in one attack. Damaging a critical processing unit can halt part of its production, require weeks of repairs and force Russia to disperse air-defense systems across an enormous territory. Once repairs are completed, Ukraine can return and strike the facility again.
Russia believed the industries financing and supplying its invasion would remain safely beyond Ukraine’s reach. After six refineries and one military plant were struck in seven days, that illusion is becoming increasingly difficult for Moscow to maintain.
