Details: It is noted that the night attack on Russian refineries was effective. These are Novokuibyshevsk, Kuibyshevsky and Syzran oil refineries.

The Ukrainska Pravda source said that these refineries process a total of about 25 million tonnes of oil per year, which is almost 10% of all Russian oil refining.

Quote: "The 'cotton' season at Russian refineries is in full swing. Each such strike reduces the flow of petrodollars that fuels Russia's war economy. [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word ‘vzryv’ (explosion), used ‘khlopok’ (a bang) instead. However, ‘khlopok’ also means ‘cotton’, and this has since become a meme – ed.]"

Background:

• Authorities in Russia’s Samara Oblast reported fires at oil refineries after drone strikes.
• Attacks on Russian oil refineries affected over 10% of production capacities over 2 days.
