Ukraine said it attacked oil processing facilities in Russia's Perm region and Tatarstan on Sunday evening, and the relevant crackdown was resumed after the US special envoy visited Moscow over the weekend. “Our long-range strike forces have been used to attack oil refineries in the Perm region and Tatarstan,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement on Telegram on Monday, without providing further details. Recently, Ukraine has continued its intensive crackdown on Russian refineries in an attempt to reduce its ability to process crude oil and supply refined oil products to the domestic market. Affected by these attacks, Russian road fuel production has dropped drastically, forcing the government to impose a temporary ban on most gasoline and diesel exports. Perm has an oil refinery with a daily production capacity of 260,000 barrels, located about 1,500 kilometers east of Moscow, and is owned by Lukoil, Russia's largest private oil producer. Tatarstan, on the other hand, has concentrated a number of refining and petrochemical facilities, including Taneco refinery with a daily production capacity of 300,000 barrels under Tatneft PJSC, and a refinery with a daily production capacity of 145,000 barrels under the independent refiner TAIF-NK.
