What to know

  • Ukraine struck two Russian oil refineries — Bashneft-UNPZ in Ufa (Bashkortostan) and the Kuibyshev refinery in Samara — within a 24-48 hour window, causing fires at both.
  • Ukraine's General Staff says the refineries' output supports the Russian military, framing the strikes as part of a campaign to weaken Russia's military-economic capacity.
  • The Kuibyshev refinery has been hit repeatedly before (August 2025, March 2024, June 2026), underscoring a sustained Ukrainian targeting pattern against this facility.
  • Zelenskyy also reported additional Ukrainian strikes in the Black Sea in the same 24-hour period.

“I thank our soldiers for their daily achievements in carrying out Ukraine's long-range strikes. Over the past 24 hours, two oil refineries have been hit – in Bashkortostan and Samara region. There were also strikes in the Black Sea.”
