Ukraine's military confirms strikes on two Russian oil refineries
Ukraine's General Staff has confirmed strikes on Russia's Slavyansky and TANECO oil refineries, also noting earlier damage inflicted on the Saratov refinery.
The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces has officially confirmed that strikes were carried out against two Russian oil refineries — the Slavyansky refinery and the TANECO refinery. The military leadership also referenced previously inflicted damage to the Saratov oil refinery.
The statement did not provide detailed information on the scale of the strikes, the weapons used, or the extent of the damage caused. However, the fact that the General Staff publicly confirmed these strikes indicates that Ukraine continues to target Russian energy infrastructure that supports fuel supplies for both civilian and military needs.
Oil refineries have repeatedly been targets of Ukrainian strikes during the war, as they represent a significant part of Russia's fuel production and export chain. Damage to such facilities can affect both domestic fuel availability within Russia and the country's ability to supply its military equipment with necessary resources.
The current operational status of the Slavyansky, TANECO, and Saratov refineries following the strikes remains unknown, and the source report does not mention any response or official comment from the Russian side.
