Reuters: Ukraine's Attacks Have Knocked Out Nearly A Third Of Russia's Refinery Capacity

Crude oil refining in Russia may have declined by 200,000 metric tons.

Since late October 2026, Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil refineries have reduced Russia’s oil refining capacity by approximately 30%.

This was reported on November 10 by the agency Reuters on November 10, citing two sources in the Russian oil industry.

According to industry sources and officials, Ukrainian attacks over the past week have caused operational disruptions and emergencies at 9 of Russia’s 35 largest oil refineries, Reuters reports.

“According to industry sources, the combined nominal daily capacity of Russian refineries that have been targeted by drone attacks since late October—including three major plants in central Russia—is about 2.2 million barrels — compared to Russia’s total primary refining capacity of about 930,000 metric tons of crude oil per day,” the agency reports.

At the same time, according to Reuters sources, Russian refineries were processing about 700,000 metric tons (about 5 million barrels) of crude oil per day in late October.

“Sources estimate that the actual reduction in oil refining volumes at Russian refineries could reach up to 200,000 metric tons per day. Among the affected refineries are those in Ryazan, Yaroslavl, and the Volga region,” the agency reports.

Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian oil refineries after October 30, when the energy truce announced by U.S. President Donald Trump between Kyiv and Moscow never took effect.
