Ukraine knocks out 15% of Russia’s oil refining capacity — report
Ukraine's drone strike campaign on Russian oil refineries has disabled as much as 15% of the country's processing capabilities, Reuters reported on April 4, citing an unnamed NATO official.
The source said the attacks incapacitated over 10% and potentially upwards of 15% of Russian oil refining. The extent of the damage could mean extensive facility repairs, possibly requiring significant time, the official indicated.

"Fewer and fewer of these types of Russian energy, critical infrastructure...are safe from potential strikes," they added.
Reuters estimates that Ukraine has effectively shut down approximately 14% of Russia's oil refining capacity.
Beginning in late January, Ukraine has consistently targeted Russian refineries with long-range UAVs. The head of Ukraine’s SBU security service, Vasyl Malyuk, previously said that the agency has carried out 13 such attacks deep in Russian territory.
