The refinery reportedly ceased operations on Wednesday after the attack damaged its CDU-6 crude distillation unit.
CDU-6 is the refinery's only primary crude-processing unit. Without it, the refinery cannot process crude oil into gasoline, diesel, and other products, which effectively means the refinery is shut down.
The refinery has reportedly stopped offering petroleum products on the St. Petersburg commodities exchange, another indicator that production has halted.
Saratov processed about 5.8 million metric tons of crude in 2024, roughly 2.2% of Russia's total refining capacity, making it a significant regional refinery.
This is also reportedly the third time this year that the Saratov refinery has been forced to suspend operations because of Ukrainian drone attacks.
This is one of the more consequential refinery strikes of the year because it targets the plant's single crude-processing "heart" rather than just storage tanks or secondary equipment.
 
Ya think! :ROFLMAO:
I believe the entirety of Merz remarks are pertinent. Not just the clip.


Germany's Chancellor Merz admits:

Trump often applies pressure through a very forceful approach.

The last American presidents politely asked us, "Please, finally do a little more for your own defense," but across Europe those requests largely fell on deaf ears.

Now there is an American president who says, rather bluntly, "Enough is enough."

And I cannot blame him. Just look at the numbers: the United States spends around 80 percent of NATO's defense resources, while Europe accounts for only about 20 percent.

That is unacceptable. It has always been unacceptable.

Given all the announcements about manufacturing ( PAC-3, AMMRAM and Stingers) being off shored to allied nations. A bolstering of energy resource redundancy. And statements from the Ankara summit. I suspect it’s safe to say NATO or at least most of it got the message

Peskov did not confirm that a sale occurred. From what I read at least from Russian press release about it.

China has again formally warned Russia against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine.

Senior Chinese officials confirmed to a Western government that Beijing had relayed the warning directly to Moscow ahead of this week’s NATO summit. Russia’s potential use of tactical nuclear weapons was also raised during at least one meeting between European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
