More than 55% of Russia’s oil refining capacity has been brought to a halt thanks to Ukraine’s long-range sanctions.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said this in his evening video address on 15 November.
“In fact, almost every day we have results, and overall as of today we have already halted more than 55% of Russia’s oil refining capacity. Our response to Russia’s refusal to de-escalate and its strikes on our energy sector is entirely justified,” the head of state said.
Russia is also suffering heavy losses on the battlefield. “In October there were more than 50,000 Russian losses killed and wounded; in November the figure should be similar, high,” Zelenskyy added.
- Among the latest large-scale strikes, on the night of 11 November the Security Service, together with other components of the Defence Forces, struck Russia’s port, oil and transport infrastructure at the port of Ust-Luga in Leningrad Region. During the special operation, the small missile ship “Buyan-M” was also hit.
- According to preliminary information, drones from the SBU’s Alpha Special Operations Centre hit infrastructure facilities at the Novatek-Ust-Luga terminal. Several tanks with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes each were damaged there. There was also a spill of petroleum products.
