Ukraine says its forces carried out a broad April campaign targeting 14 Russian oil refineries and fuel hubs, plus ports, terminals and military sites from Crimea to the Urals, in what Kyiv describes as a widening deep-strike into Russia’s fuel network that finances the war. Notable hits included Bashneft-Novoil in Ufa, Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez in Kstovo, the Tuapse refinery, export terminals at Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Vysotsk, offshore Caspian platforms, and even a long-range strike on Shagol airfield near Chelyabinsk, with naval and Black Sea targets damaged as part of a broader assault.
