In a decisive move, Ukrainian defense units have struck the oil refinery located in Ukhta, Komi Republic, Russia. This information was shared by the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on social media.
The attack took place on February 12, 2026, as part of a systematic effort to diminish the military-economic capabilities of the aggressor.
The distance from the Ukrainian border to the targeted facility is 1750 kilometers.
Preliminary reports indicate that a fire broke out at the technological section following the strike.
The affected installation reduces the viscosity of crude oil for the production of fuel oil and additional light fractions such as gasoline and gas oil.
This facility, which is part of the Lukoil structure, processes approximately 4.2 million tons of oil per year, producing automotive and straight-run gasoline, diesel fuel, fuel oil, and vacuum gas oil.
The refinery plays a role in supplying the Russian army. The extent of the damage is currently being assessed.
