What to know

  • Ukrainian drones have twice targeted the Bashneft refinery complex in Ufa, Bashkortostan — roughly 1,600 km from Ukraine's border — on Sept. 21 and again on Sept. 23.
  • Russia's Defense Ministry says it intercepted 514 drones overnight on Sept. 23 across 18 regions, Crimea, and the Black and Azov seas; neither Russian authorities nor Ukraine's military have confirmed damage to the refinery.
  • The strikes are part of a broader Ukrainian campaign that has cut output at half of Russia's six largest diesel-producing refineries this September.
  • Trump has publicly urged Ukraine to stop hitting Russian diesel infrastructure, citing a global fuel shortage, putting Kyiv's refinery strategy in tension with U.S. pressure.
