General Staff of the AFU: The Volgograd Refinery has been hit, and there are large fires at the plant

The General Staff confirmed the strike on the Lukoil refinery in Volgograd, where strong fires are ongoing.

On the night of August 14, drone strikes hit the Volgograd refinery, which supplies the Russian army with oil products. Strong fires have started at the site.

The Volgograd refinery is the largest producer of fuel and lubricants in the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation. Over 15 million tons of oil are processed here annually, which accounts for 5.6% of the total Russian processing. The refinery produces diesel, gasoline, and aviation fuel, which are critically important for the logistics of the Russian Armed Forces.
