The Moscow Oil Refinery is unlikely to resume operations this year following a series of Ukrainian drone strikes that forced the facility to shut down completely, Reuters<\/a> reported, citing industry sources.<\/p>\n

Located on the southern outskirts of Moscow, the refinery is one of the largest fuel suppliers for the Russian capital and the surrounding region. It was hit twice by Ukrainian drones in June, causing extensive damage and halting production, UATV English<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n

According to one source familiar with the situation, repairs are expected to take at least six months.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will take at least half a year to repair,\u201d the source told Reuters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The refinery\u2019s shutdown follows attacks that reportedly disabled both of its primary crude-processing units, effectively eliminating its ability to process oil.<\/p>\n

Reuters noted that Ukrainian long-range strikes have disrupted a significant share of Russia\u2019s refining capacity in recent months, creating growing pressure on the country\u2019s fuel market.<\/p>\n

The damage has contributed to shortages of petroleum products, rising fuel prices and long queues at filling stations in parts of Russia, particularly in and around Moscow, where the refinery played a key role in supplying gasoline and diesel fuel.<\/p>\n

The latest disruption highlights the increasing impact of Ukrainian drone operations on Russia\u2019s energy infrastructure and logistics network.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
