On September 11, Ukraine announced it had struck a large refinery operated by Russian oil company Rosneft in the Volga region, as Kyiv intensifies attacks on Russia's energy infrastructure. The Ukrainian General Staff reported that fires were detected at the Saratov refinery site, with damage assessments ongoing. This week, Ukraine resumed strikes on Russian energy assets after a four-day pause during visits by U.S. envoys to Moscow and Kyiv for peace talks. Since Sunday, Ukrainian officials have confirmed attacks on three refineries, two Arctic gas condensate processing plants, and a fuel oil terminal in the Black Sea. By targeting enemy refineries, Ukraine aims to disrupt Moscow's ability to generate revenue and sustain its war effort. These strikes have led to a decline in Russia's road fuel production, prompting the government to impose temporary bans on most gasoline and diesel exports.
