Ukrainian Attacks on Russian Oil Infrastructure and Their Implications
October 10, 2025
In the last few months, Ukraine has intensified its attacks on Russian oil infrastructure, primarily targeting oil refineries. The attacks began in the spring and summer of 2024, when Ukraine developed drones capable of reaching targets deep inside Russia. By 2025, Ukraine had significantly improved its drone capabilities—they can now fly farther and carry larger payloads. The frequency of drone attacks has also increased substantially. For example, the Volgograd refinery has been hit four times since August, the Novokuibyshev refinery three times, and the Saratov, Ryazan, and Salavat refineries twice each.
