The Black Sea Fleet also depends on him.
The Ukrainian military carried out a strike on the Volgograd Oil Refinery in Russia—a facility of strategic importance for fueling the Russian army, particularly its air defense units and the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet. This was reported by the press service of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Units of the Special Operations Forces’ Deep Strike group were deployed for the operation, along with other components of Ukraine’s security and defense forces. The target was the oil refinery in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation.
The Volgograd Oil Refinery is one of the key facilities in Russia’s oil refining industry. It produces gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, fuel oil, bitumen, and sulfur.
According to the Special Operations Forces, the plant plays a crucial role in supplying Russian troops with fuel. In particular, it supplies petroleum products to air defense units and the Russian Federation’s Black Sea Fleet.
In addition, the facility serves as a fuel hub through which petroleum products are redistributed among Russian Army units on the front lines and in the rear. It also serves as a source for export shipments via transport hubs on the Caspian and Black Seas.
The SSO emphasizes that striking such facilities weakens the Russian army’s logistical capabilities and reduces its ability to continue the war against Ukraine.
