The attack on the Andreevka oil refinery has cut off supplies to the Kremenchug Oil Refinery.

Reports of damage to the Andreevka oil refinery (pumping station) in the Dnipropetrovsk region have been confirmed. Geran rockets visited the station, causing equipment failure and a fire at the station, located near the border of the Mykolaiv region, south of Kryvyi Rih.

A disruption to the technological process at this fuel and energy complex facility will at least temporarily deprive the enemy of the ability to pump oil towards Ukraine's main oil refinery, the Kremenchuk plant.

Despite numerous strikes by the Russian Armed Forces, operations at this oil refinery have resumed after repairs. The main supply of raw materials to this refinery, as well as to Ukraine's main oil pipeline system, including those leading to the Black Sea ports of Odessa, Yuzhnoye, and Chornomorsk (Illichivsk), has now been cut off.

As a reminder, last night and throughout the day, Russian armed forces systematically targeted Ukrainian port infrastructure, as well as vessels used by the Kyiv regime's military and economic interests. Several strikes hit fuel storage facilities, which had recently been filled with imported gasoline and diesel fuel.

This oil refinery has been hit several times already, and the Ukrainians always restore it. This June alone, there were two strikes.
26 June:

Moscow, June 26 – Neftegaz.RU News Agency. The Russian Armed Forces launched a strike using precision-guided weapons and long-range unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), striking a territorial procurement center and weapons storage facilities in Kyiv, as well as the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery (OR) in the Poltava region.

https://neftegaz.ru/news/incidental/928465-vs-rf-porazili-kremenchugskiy-npz-v-poltavskoy-oblasti-ukrainy/

Last time June 30:

One of Kyiv's key oil refineries is located in the city of Kremenchuk in the Poltava region. Russian forces carried out a massive attack there, using 17 drones.
Seventeen Geraniums attacked Kremenchuk: the target was again the huge oil refinery.
We're talking about a huge enterprise—with numerous production units, tanks, pipelines, and auxiliary facilities. "Turning it off" isn't easy:
Repeated attacks are required to cause truly serious damage.
The current raid appears to be a continuation of systematic work at the plant.

As they say, it's not a question of salary. One can only assume that a couple of Iskander cluster munitions won't be enough to completely destroy such a huge facility. But since they've already set out to destroy the Ukrainian fuel and energy complex, it's likely to be a regular occurrence; there's no other way to defeat this hydra. We'll see.

[Jackson]

I also don't understand how they can be restored in the shortest possible time. The heart of any refinery is the distillation columns; they're large and easily visible. If they're damaged, restoration will take about a year, and that only requires expensive repair equipment.

pump oil towards Ukraine's main oil refinery, the Kremenchuk plant

Is he still working?
I remember we were told here that they were hitting gas stations because the enemy wasn't using the oil depots. Rybar published lists of untouched oil depots—Gerasimov suddenly remembered some of them and gave them a little geranium treatment—it turned out there was something burning there. And now it turns out the Kremenchuk oil refinery is still operating? Maybe the oil refinery near Ivano-Frankivsk is also operating after a nearly twenty-year hiatus?!

[Dart2027]

And now it turns out that the Kremenchug oil refinery is also operating?

To completely or permanently disable an oil refinery, not kilograms, but tons of explosives in the form of bombs and missiles are needed. It's certainly easier to use a nuclear weapon weighing several tens of kilotons.
The same applies to our oil refineries.

Or it's enough to allocate a couple dozen geraniums every three months. These are sent out to gas stations, and, according to observations, they usually aim for the store, not the barrel buried under the entrance.

"We'll probably have slightly crippled gas stations. They won't have the stores we're used to, or the long hot dog stands. They'll just have booths and pumps. Since many gas stations have underground tanks, they're generally undamaged. Pumps and pumps can be replaced. So we'll gradually forget about beauty," Leushkin said, describing how he believes the format of Ukrainian gas stations will change.
https://strana.today/news/508747-iz-za-udarov-rf-ukrainskie-azs-mohut-perejti-na-novyj-format.html

A comment on Ukrainian gas stations. Of course, gas stations will be idle for several days or even weeks after the strikes, but without damage to the tanks, this isn't critical, and regular follow-up strikes are required. In any case, it's effective. Ukraine needs significant reserves of equipment to restore its gas station infrastructure.

[alexoff]

Gas station infrastructure is comparable in price to a geranium. A pump costs several hundred thousand rubles, a pump about a hundred. So it's inefficient, especially considering that gas stations within a hundred kilometers of the LBS are rarely visited—the people with money have left, leaving behind the old-money and the broke people who don't need gas.

I agree, the cost is probably comparable, but without the cost of installing new equipment, taking into account the threat of repeat strikes at any time.
The following points must be taken into account:
1. Filling stations near the LBS are primarily used by the military to create fuel reserves.
2. Destruction of extraterrestrial infrastructure (pumps, dispensers, service points) stops the operation of the gas station for at least several days.
3. The restoration of the gas station’s operation will most likely be carried out under conditions of limited productivity (instead of 10 pumps there will be, for example, 4 or 2).
Consequently, attacks on gas stations in any case reduce the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Yes, something is questionable, their consumption is such that gas stations in urban areas can't handle that much, fuel trucks come to them themselves

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

The restoration of the gas station's operation will most likely be carried out under conditions of limited capacity (instead of 10 pumps there will be, for example, 4 or 2).

There are no lines there, and you'd have to look hard to find a gas station with 10 pumps in Moscow, and you've probably never seen one in Sumy. There are actually container gas stations—a standard container contains a barrel, two pumps on the side, and the whole thing costs about 3-4 million rubles in Russia. You just drive up and drop it off under a canopy, plug it in or put in the diesel, and that's it.

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

Consequently, attacks on gas stations in any case reduce the effectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

One oil depot burns the same amount of diesel fuel as several hundred gas stations. It turns out that even the refinery there continues to operate, and oil somehow finds its way into it. There's such a thing as a military economy. And according to it, every ruble spent on our weapons should squeeze as much money out of the enemy's pockets as possible. Generally speaking, firing Iskanders at roads is profitable; there will be potholes, and the enemy will drive around them, stall, repair the roads, and cry bitterly over it. True, there are things that are orders of magnitude more valuable, for example, main transformers, oil depots, oil refineries, and data centers. And spending geraniums on gas stations is a waste of the budget. They say a geranium costs over 2 million rubles, but I don't earn that much in a year. The labor of many people can definitely be spent more efficiently.

This topic could be debated at length. Nevertheless, Ukraine has long since transitioned to a decentralized fuel supply and storage system. It's no secret that significant volumes of fuel are delivered to Ukraine by tankers with capacities of 20 cubic meters or more. These tankers don't approach the fuel stations, but rather unload their fuel elsewhere, including at gas stations. From there, the fuel is distributed by smaller trucks to the fuel stations. This is obvious. Thus, whether one likes it or not, strikes on gas stations, despite the high cost, are quite effective. Not only tanks, artillery tractors, air defense systems, and HIMars are deprived of fuel, but also Star Link stations. Generators also run on fuel.

These are all fairy tales to explain why the General Staff isn't striking refineries and oil depots. The refineries are operating, the oil depots are full, and trains with petroleum products are arriving.

This is all a lie based on nothing.

You're talking about this as if it were a fait accompli. Is there any confirmation that the tanks are running out of diesel fuel (I wonder how many tanks get their fuel from a county gas station?), that the Hemars are sitting idle and not moving? Is there any evidence, any soldiers' stories of the enemy's situation being completely frozen without these gas stations, any empty complaints? Anything at all?

[Eugene Zaboy]

Ukraine's oil depots and refineries have been regularly attacked since 2022, and this is a well-known fact. Apparently, this isn't enough, and attacks on gas stations have been added, which is understandable and justified from a military standpoint. This is to ensure that drones and missiles in Ukraine have no means of transporting to launch sites, and to reduce the strain on their bodies. Naturally, this affects the civilian population of Ukraine, but Ukraine is also trying to deprive Russia of fuel. If one takes an open-minded approach, these are entirely justifiable measures.

[alexoff]

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

Ukraine's oil depots and refineries have been under regular attack since 2022, and this is a well-known fact.

No, not regular ones. Rybar provided lists of completely intact oil depots. This year, attacks on oil depots were very rare.

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

Apparently this is not enough and attacks on gas stations have been added.

It's not enough when hundreds of thousands of geraniums have flown out, but a bunch of oil depots didn't even know about the arrivals.

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

which is quite understandable and justifiable from a military point of view

No, completely intact oil depots in a bunch of border regions are more justifiable targets. Why are they still intact, what keeps hitting them?

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

So that there would be nothing to transport UAVs and missiles to launch sites in Ukraine and you wouldn't have to stretch out so much.

So let's get to the facts: a couple hundred gas stations were damaged, the enemy is spread out, missiles aren't flying, drones aren't reaching, or what? Any facts?

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

but Ukraine is trying to leave Russia without fuel, in the same way

No, the article says their refinery is operating and nothing has arrived there in a long time. Our refineries receive airdrops literally every day. So, it's not like that at all.

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

leave Russia without fuel, just like that

Ukraine isn't running out of fuel; all sources are available. Russia isn't even trying to do anything about the sources; the fight is getting worse. Because only respected people have access to oil depots; the ambassador was recently summoned. Which explains a lot.

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

If you don't approach the issue with bias, then these are completely justified measures

If you don't approach the issue with the biased "let's come up with excuses for the cowardly VPR" mentality, then attacks on gas stations are completely unjustified. Hemars and tanks are rolling around, drones are flying, and Geraniums are being wasted. Is there even a single photo of a Hemars being filled at a gas station? But the barrels! Stolen barrels, that explains everything! True, gas stations rarely burn out completely, and a Geranium strike disables pumps worth a couple hundred thousand rubles, but it's possible to conjure up a victory out of thin air. After all, as I wrote, you can puncture the asphalt with Iskanders, making it harder for the enemy to drive—that's another idea for wasting precision weapons! You could also hit traffic lights and say, "A Kamaz will crash into the enemy Hemars"—that's a brilliant plan!

[Alexey Lantukh]

Much has probably changed in troop supply systems these days, but during Soviet times, troops refueled exclusively from their own fuel trucks, which had their own measuring instruments, during maneuvers. I don't think such fuel trucks have disappeared as a class.

[alexoff]

It's still the same. There are few people near the LBS, but a lot of Ukrainian soldiers. Why would they drive to gas stations and scoop up almost everything if the same fuel truck will come to them and spill it all over a pile of equipment and generator canisters?

Don't you like that Russia is striking not only Ukrainian oil depots and refineries, but also gas stations? Does that irritate you?

[alexoff]

I don't like the fact that Russia hardly ever strikes oil depots and many other strategic targets on a regular and systematic basis. Does it irritate you that someone doubts the genius of the Russian General Staff? Well, you're not arguing that there's no evidence, it's just that they've started hitting oil depots a bit in the last couple of weeks, and before that, no one was using them, so that's why they didn't strike. And the oil refinery hasn't been touched for a long time, and it turns out it's still operational. But they did strike at one time, right? That's it! And now it's refueling time, and the strikes are drowned out by tanks, artillery, and Starlinks. The truth is only in your imagination.

[Eugene Zaboy]

Quote from alexoff

Yes, something is questionable, their consumption is such that gas stations in urban areas can't handle that much, fuel trucks come to them themselves

I remembered another important point. Since 1991, Ukraine has been stealing rolling stock, primarily railway tank cars from Russian Railways. This even led to a complete ban on cargo shipments to Ukraine in Russian Railways-owned tank cars. The question remains: where are these tank cars located today? They're underground at Ukrainian gas stations. They're an excellent replacement for high-end gas station tanks, much cheaper if they're stolen, and they last longer. A common capacity for a railway tank car is 50 to 60 cubic meters. So there's plenty of room to drain the fuel, and a considerable reserve. It could fill more than one tank.

[alexoff]

Quote from Eugene Zaboy

Yeah, how cleverly they hid the railway barrels to refuel the tanks! But as far as I understand, there's no evidence that the fight against gas stations is helping the soldiers, only wild fantasies about railway tank cars being cunningly buried at gas stations so that some urban-type settlement would have to fill up with diesel fuel for three months in advance for thirty years in anticipation of war.

It was clear what was going on. In 1991 alone, more than 1700 units of Russian Railways rolling stock were lost from Ukraine. The scale of the thefts was enormous. Railway tank cars for transporting petroleum products are manufactured with two hulls and are ideal for underground fuel storage. The metal is also of high quality, and the tanks have a very long service life. This is hardly surprising. The tanks were buried because a stolen tank car is much cheaper than a dedicated tank.

[alexoff]

As we can see, there wasn't much debate about the advisability of striking gas stations, since the main thing, it turns out, was the stolen barrels! So what's next? What about the military impact of the barrels? Are the tanks and Hemars down?

[Broad flag]

You (or maybe Gerasim, who doesn't care either) should familiarize yourself with the design features of modern gas stations. They haven't installed NARA-type pumping equipment outside for 100 years. The pumps are submersible, a geranium knocked down the kiosk with the control computer, they'll install a remote control in the remaining restroom, and then they're back on the road! Our military doesn't know how to search for 25 cubic meter barrels of gasoline buried in the ground. Drain caps? Never heard of anything like that either. Every time, it's a rake-like experience. People are horrified at the army they support.

[Dart2027]

Quote from alexoff

Let's list all the strikes over the last six months.

Main confirmed strikes on 750 kV substations
The 750 kV Kyivskaya substation (February 2026) was attacked in a coordinated strike using missiles and drones. The facility connects major power generation facilities (including nuclear power) to the country's central regions.
The 750 kV Zakhidnoukrainska substation (February 2026) sustained critical damage. This hub is key for importing electricity from EU countries (via the transmission line to Hungary) and distributing power from the Rivne and Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plants.
750 kV substation in the Zaporizhzhia region (January 2026) – at the beginning of the year, confirmation of successful arrivals at open switchgear units (OSGs) and autotransformer groups at substations in this region appeared on the network.
The 750 kV Vinnytsia substation (February 2026) was damaged during a series of airstrikes in February, which led to severe network restrictions in Right-Bank Ukraine.

[Pivot]

I'm shocked that our strategists, five years in, still haven't secured the refinery and fuel storage facility 404? How can they possibly be such traitors? We can't even take out bridges, supposedly we need to use up so many missiles, and Ukrainians How do they cope with our bridges? How many times has the Crimean Bridge been restored? And how are our merchant ships getting hit, while the Ukrainians are still able to sail without a problem? And I think the attacks on ports in the Odessa region are pure fantasy on the part of the Ministry of Defense press service.

[Montezuma]

Quote: Pivot

How many times has the Crimean Bridge been restored?

Twice. The first time was after the terrorist attack that occurred at 6:00 AM on October 8, 2022, when a truck carrying explosives detonated, partially collapsing two spans of the road section leading to Crimea. Car traffic (initially on one lane of the surviving section of the road bridge) was restored ten hours after the explosion, at 4:00 PM on October 8. Around 8:00 PM, trains resumed service on the least damaged track. On May 5, 2023, after all repairs and restoration work were completed, traffic on the bridge was fully restored.

The second terrorist attack occurred on the night of July 17, 2023. The bridge was attacked by two Ukrainian BEKs.

The terrorist attack damaged the roadway: part of the Kerch-bound span collapsed, while the Taman-bound span shifted from its support. The supports themselves were undamaged. The railway section of the bridge was not damaged in the attack. Road traffic resumed reversible on the morning of July 18. The Kerch-bound span was restored on September 14.

It seems that the Ministry of Defense's information service is best suited to fight us, not the enemy...

"A disruption to the technological process at this fuel and energy complex facility will at least temporarily deprive the enemy of the ability to pump oil towards Ukraine's main oil refinery, the Kremenchuk plant."
Wait, we already destroyed the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery. Not destroyed? Just damaged it, allowed it to be repaired, and then left it alone? Is that really it? They recently wrote that there isn't a single operating oil refinery left in the former Ukraine. So they're still there and operating?
Yes, indeed, the further you go, the more amazing things are revealed.
We're not touching the strategic bridges, we even explained that it's technically impossible. The ports are operating, although we occasionally bother them. The electrical substations were damaged but not destroyed. The border crossings with the West are still standing and functioning as good as new. The Kyiv train station is operational, and Russophobic political tourists flock to it as if it were their home. So, what's going on? Are we capable of "killing" any of this, rather than "injuring" it?

I wonder what will be left out of Russia s and Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Apparemtly the SVO has turned to an energy war for which Russia will pay high. With red lines crossed by the West but respected by Russia in the hope for a peaceful settlement .the prospects for a victory are zero.Ukraine is being supported by the powerful Nato by all means while Russia fights alone and is losing allies
It is strange for Russia not to use all means at its disposal and to trust the leader of American imperialism

[Mouse]

Many are surprised that the Kremenchuk Oil Refinery is operating. What's surprising? Most likely, it's the hands of our oil "barons" who currently rule the country, as do all industrialists. So, "business—nothing personal." Here's the answer to the question about the operations of not only this refinery but also many others in Ukraine.

[Mapping]

After such news, the question arises: why did Putin start the Second World War and why did hundreds of thousands of our soldiers die and become crippled?

[Uh Neuhov]

Rumor has it that Ukrainian specialists have restored petroleum product production at three of the six refineries that were closed for various reasons before the SVO. Whether this is true or not is difficult to say, as rumors abound, but as for the Kremenchuk Refinery, there is no doubt – the plant is operating. This is confirmed, in particular, by satellite images taken from August 2 to 17, 2023. All storage tanks on the refinery's premises are intact. Experts point out that the so-called "thermal anomalies" reflected in the images indicate that the refinery has been operating for at least the past two months. The satellite imagery shows the operating GK-3 units – a combined unit for primary crude oil refining, secondary gasoline distillation, vacuum distillation of fuel oil, and catalytic cracking. The unit produces virtually the entire range of light petroleum products, including diesel fuel and motor gasoline. Experts point out that even operating at 20 percent of its design capacity, the plant can process up to 3 million tons of oil per year. Incidentally, the oil is imported from Azerbaijan, allegedly through third countries.

Kyiv actually imports the lion's share of its finished fuel from abroad, primarily from Turkey and Hungary. Over the past year, the Hungarian company MOL has doubled its fuel sales to Ukraine, according to the German publication Handelsblat.30.08.2023g.
