Ukrainian forces have struck Russian oil refineries at least 194 times since the start of 2026. The total represents an 11-fold increase over the same six-month period in 2025. U.S. intelligence has assisted with air defense mapping and route planning for the strikes.
2026 recorded 16 successful refinery strikes, the highest monthly total in the current campaign. The previous high for any single month had not been disclosed. The increase in strikes coincides with expanded Ukrainian use of long-range drones and missiles. Russian authorities have not released an official tally of refinery damage or production losses.
