Summary
Ukraine said it hit two major Russian oil refineries overnight—Rosneft’s Ryazan plant and Lukoil’s Perm facility—in its first attack on large oil-processing sites in nearly two weeks.
Ryazan, about 120 kilometers from Moscow, caught fire after the strike, Ukraine’s General Staff said, while no further damage details were given for either refinery.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the second target was Lukoil’s Perm refinery, roughly 1,500 kilometers east of the Russian capital, underscoring Kyiv’s long-range reach.
The refinery attacks mark a shift back to energy infrastructure after recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Wildberries warehouses that Kyiv linked to Russian military supply chains.
