Ukraine’s General Staff has presented figures on the degradation of Russia’s military-economic capabilities, claiming that long-range strikes by Ukrainian forces have significantly damaged the country’s oil refining sector.
The statement was published on Facebook, according to Ukrinform.
According to the General Staff, more than 30% of Russia’s oil refining capacity has been taken out of service as a result of strikes on oil infrastructure.
Officials said that 16 major Russian oil refineries and terminals have been hit, and more than 40 processing units have been shut down.
They added that, due to international sanctions, Russia is unable to restore the damaged facilities, as import substitution has proven ineffective. As a result, oil production is declining because there is limited capacity for refining and export.
