The SSU successfully struck the infrastructure of the ‘Lukoil-Permneftorgsintez’ oil refinery, located more than 1,500 km from Ukraine. The special operation was carried out in accordance with the objectives set by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy to reduce the aggressor state’s military and economic potential.

Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez is one of the largest oil refineries in russia, with a capacity of nearly 13 million tons per year. It supplies fuel to both the civilian sector and the russian military.

A fire broke out at the refinery following a drone strike. According to preliminary data, the crude oil distillation unit – one of the plant's key processing facilities – is on fire.

Striking such oil refineries is of strategic importance, as they produce fuel for the occupying army’s military equipment, aviation, and logistics. Furthermore, the oil refining industry remains one of the main sources of revenue for the russian budget, which finances the war against Ukraine.
