Lukoil refinery and oil station: Defense forces hit Russian facilities in two regions

This is reported by the General Staff.

It is noted that “Lukoil-Volgogradneftepererabotka” is one of the largest oil refineries in Russia. Its refining capacity is about 15 million tons of oil per year. The enterprise produces automobile gasoline, diesel and aviation fuel, and is also involved in meeting the needs of the Russian armed forces.

In addition, in the area of the settlement of Prosvit, Samara Oblast, the Samara linear production control station was hit. A fire was also recorded on the territory of the facility.

It is known that the Samara Oil Refinery is a large oil receiving, storage and blending facility. Raw materials are supplied to the station via main oil pipelines from Tatarstan, Western Siberia and other oil-producing regions of the Russian Federation. The facility mixes high- and low-sulfur oil from various fields to form the Urals export grade, which accounts for up to 50% of the total volume of Russian oil exports. The station is also involved in meeting the needs of the Russian armed forces.

The Defense Forces noted that the destruction of such objects is Ukraine’s exercise of the right to self-defense in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter and is aimed at reducing Russia’s military-economic potential.

In particular, the results of the lesions are being clarified.

“Work on the key military and infrastructure targets of the Russian aggressor continues,” the General Staff added.
