Ukraine has carried out more frequent strikes on Russian oil refineries, fuel depots, and supply routes during 2026. The attacks have reduced processing capacity at several facilities and disrupted fuel distribution networks.
Russian retail petrol prices have increased as a result of the reduced supply. Government data show the price rise has occurred across multiple regions since the start of the intensified campaign.
The strikes have also targeted rail and pipeline infrastructure used to move refined products. Russian authorities have not released detailed figures on total damage or output losses.
