Overview
- Crude processing at the Ryazan refinery stopped after a November 15 UAV strike, which Ukraine’s General Staff claimed as its operation.
- Ryazan region governor Pavlo Malkov reported a fire from drone debris at an unnamed enterprise, aligning with reports pointing to the refinery site.
- The hit disabled the plant’s main processing unit of more than 8 million tonnes a year, accounting for about 48% of capacity.
- A separate unit taken offline in an October 24 attack remains under repair, leaving roughly 26% of capacity unavailable.
- The refinery halted sales on the St. Petersburg exchange from November 15, and sources expect no product shipments until December 1.
