According to Ukrinform, Reuters stated this in an article.
As noted, the crude distillation unit AVT-1, which provides 40% of the plant's capacity, was shut down.
The other units, AVT-6 and AVT-5, were also shut down.
In 2024, the Volgograd oil refinery processed 13.5 million metric tons of oil, or about 5% of the total volume at Russian refineries.
It produced 6 million tonnes of diesel fuel, 1.9 million tonnes of gasoline, and 700,000 tonnes of fuel oil.
As Ukrinform reported, on May 28 and overnight into May 29, the Defense Forces of Ukraine struck a number of important targets in Russia itself, as well as in Zaporizhzhia, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Luhansk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Sumy regions. Among the targets hit was the Volgograd oil refinery. A fire was recorded on the plant's territory.
