Ukraine Strikes Russian Oil Refinery Deep in Siberia

Ukrainian defense forces successfully targeted the Antipinsky oil refinery in Russia's Tyumen region, located approximately 2,000 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. The strike took place on Saturday, June 20.

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine announced the attack on Facebook, stating that the results are still being assessed. The Tyumen refinery is one of the largest oil processing plants in Western Siberia, with an annual capacity of 7.5 to 9 million metric tons of crude oil. It produces diesel fuel, gasoline, and other petroleum products, including supplies for the Russian military.

This strike follows other recent Ukrainian attacks on Russian energy infrastructure. Earlier on Sunday, the "TES-Terminal-1" oil terminal in Kerch, Crimea, was reportedly hit, causing a fire. This terminal is a key facility for fuel and lubricant transfer and storage in Crimea, also serving Russian military needs.

Additionally, the "Caucasus" port in Russia's Krasnodar region caught fire after a strike on the night of June 21. This port is a vital logistics hub connecting Krasnodar region with occupied Crimea and supports the Russian military's supply chain. Ukrainian forces also targeted railway bridges crucial for Russian military transport and logistics, including bridges near Rozdolnoye, Petershagen, and across the Syvash Lake near Chongar.

Attacks were also reported on Russian military command posts near Pochaev in Belgorod region and drone command posts in Myrne and Novoivanivka in Zaporizhzhia region, as well as in Komare (Donetsk region) and Gorki (Bryansk region). Earlier on Saturday night, Ukrainian forces struck a bridge over the Henichesk Strait near Henichesk in Ukraine's Kherson region.
