Until at least 2027. The Moscow oil refinery has suffered significant damage and requires lengthy repairs — media reports
Reuters reports this, citing two sources.
According to the sources, the refinery will be out of operation for at least six months due to significant damage caused by drones.
“Repairs will take at least half a year,” one of the agency’s sources said.
Reuters had previously reported that the first attack on the Moscow refinery on 16 June put the CDU-6 unit out of action, whilst a second attack on 18 June put the second Euro+ unit out of action. Together, they account for 100 per cent of the refinery’s primary oil processing capacity.
Ukrainian OSINT analysts from ‘Cyberflour’ also confirmed that Ukrainian drones had struck 100 per cent of the primary oil refining capacity at the Moscow refinery and brought refining to a complete halt.
