Moscow oil refinery hit by drone attacks is unlikely to resume production this year, sources say

Moscow's oil refinery will remain offline for at least six months after extensive damage from Ukrainian drone attacks, a disruption that could worsen Russia's fuel shortages. The outage highlights continued wartime pressure on Russian energy infrastructure and may have broader implications for regional refined-product supply. This is a material negative for Russian fuel markets and a notable geopolitical energy shock.
