Moscow-Area Refinery to Stay Offline Through 2027 After Drone Attacks

A Gazprom Neft-operated refinery south of Moscow is expected to remain offline for at least six months after June drone strikes damaged its main distillation unit (53% of capacity) and a newer Euro+ unit (47%), likely delaying the restart until 2027. The plant processed 11.6 million tonnes of oil in 2024, and authorities are weighing a diesel export ban amid rising fuel prices and supply concerns as Russia’s fuel market faces ongoing strain, though officials say the situation is under control.
