Not new but more detail: Ukrainian Drone Strike Halts Russia’s Fourth-Largest Oil Refinery By Charles Kennedy - Nov 18, 2025, 11:00 AM CST Rosneft’s Ryazan oil refinery, which is Russia’s fourth-largest, has suspended its main crude processing operations after being hit by a Ukrainian drone strike over the weekend. The plant's main crude distillation unit has been halted, and industry sources expect the refinery, which processes over 260,000 barrels per day (5% of Russia’s total capacity), to remain idle until at least December 1. This attack is part of an intensified campaign by Ukraine to target Russian oil refining, storage, and export infrastructure, which has also recently led to a temporary suspension of oil exports from the key Novorossiysk port. Rosneft’s oil refinery at Ryazan, Russia’s fourth-largest, has suspended crude processing after a Ukrainian drone attack this weekend, industry sources told Reuters on Tuesday. The Ryazan refinery, which has been targeted – and hit – by drone strikes all year, has now halted its main crude distillation unit. “The plant is expected to remain idle until the end of the month. No (oil product) loadings are planned before December 1,” according to one of Reuters’ sources. Pavel Malkov, the governor of the Ryazan region, on Saturday said on his Telegram channel that debris from downed drones “caused a fire at one of the industry facilities” in the region, without specifying which facility was damaged. Another crude distillation unit (CDU) at the Ryazan refinery was hit at the end of October, taking 80,000 barrels per day (bpd) of the plant’s refining capacity offline, or about a quarter of the total capacity of the refinery. The unit is still undergoing repairs while the other units have also been idled, although it is not clear whether all have sustained damages from Ukrainian drone attacks, the industry sources told Reuters. The Ryazan refinery operated by oil giant Rosneft is one of the biggest crude processing plants in Russia with a capacity to process more than 260,000 barrels per day of crude—or 5% of Russia’s refining capacity. Ukraine has intensified attacks on Russia’s oil refineries, depots, and export terminals in an escalation of the war on energy infrastructure, which has also seen Russia targeting Ukraine’s gas producing facilities and gas and power distribution networks as temperatures drop. The key Russian oil port of Novorossiysk on the Black Sea suspended oil exports for a few days, following a major Ukrainian attack on the port early on Friday. Ukrainian forces have increasingly targeted Russian oil-refining, storage, and export infrastructure using drones and missiles. The campaign has gained intensity in recent months, with the Center for European Policy Analysis noting a shift in strategy “from smaller-scale strikes on storage tanks to targeting hard-to-replace refinery equipment, like cracking units, much of it western-made and subject to sanctions.” By Charles Kennedy for Oilprice.com

Even more disappointing is trying to determine which coach on offense has performed the best. -
Russia wants demilitarization of Ukraine because then it can attack Ukraine again in a few years. Ukraine knows Russia and knows what will happen if it demilitarizes. But Ukraine still wants to end the war because frankly its people are tired and it is running out of bodies to maintain the front lines and has no opportunity through the battlefield to regain control of land. It is a battle of attrition that Ukraine knows it can’t win. Victory can only come with the death of Putin or civil unrest within Russia. I think the last link I posted yesterday Rusi. something gave 4 ways the war could go - it’s a worthwhile read.

Everything points to Russian intelligence services commissioning sabotage on Polish railways over the weekend, a spokesperson for the special services minister said on Tuesday. An explosion that damaged a Polish railway track on a route to Ukraine was an “unprecedented act of sabotage,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said on Monday as he vowed to catch those responsible for an incident he said could have ended in tragedy. The blast on the Warsaw-Lublin line that connects the capital to the Ukrainian border followed a wave of arson, sabotage and cyberattacks in Poland and other European countries since the start of the war in Ukraine. Warsaw has in the past held Russia responsible, saying Poland has become one of Moscow’s biggest targets due to its role as a hub for aid to Kyiv. Russia has repeatedly denied being responsible for acts of sabotage. “The blowing up of the railway track on the Warsaw-Lublin route is an unprecedented act of sabotage aimed at the security of the Polish state and its citizens,” Tusk wrote on X. “An investigation is underway. Just like in previous cases of this kind, we will catch the perpetrators, regardless of who their backers are.” Four government ministers told a press conference there was one confirmed and one “highly probable” act of sabotage, referring to an incident on another part of the route where railway traction was damaged. Warsaw said in October that Poland and Romania had detained eight people suspected of planning sabotage on behalf of Russia. Local police said on Sunday that a train driver had reported damage on the railway line, but authorities were not able to immediately confirm that it was a result of sabotage. “This route is also used to transport weapons to Ukraine,” Tusk said in a video address. “Fortunately, no tragedy occurred, but the legal implications are very serious.” Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said the military was inspecting a 120 km (74.6 miles) stretch of track leading to the Ukrainian border. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said that abundant evidence was collected at the site that should allow for the perpetrators to be quickly identified. The damaged route that passes through the eastern city of Lublin is used by 115 trains daily, the infrastructure minister said.

The red is the evacuated village. There is a thin stretch of Ukranian land reaching it. Moldova separated by the white line is superior to the thin stretch of land.

Ukraine-Russia war latest: Nato member Romania evacuates villages after Putin’s attack on tanker Former security minister Tom Tugendhat says incident is tantamount to Russia 'attacking Nato’ A suspected Russian drone attack in Ukraine saw a Turkish tanker hit in the Odesa region Monday, setting the vessel on fire and prompting evacuations across the Danube river in Romania. Three Romanian villages have been evacuated after Russia attacked a Turkish LNG tanker off the coast of neighbouring Ukraine on Monday. The vessel suffered significant damage during a Russian strike in Ukraine's southern Odesa region and scores of people were evacuated, mostly from the border village of Tulcea in the Nato member state, over fears it could explode. Tom Tugendhat, the former security minister, said the incident was tantamount to Russia "attacking Nato". “Putin is expanding his Ukrainian war to dissuade us from defending European freedom,” he warned. The incident came as Emmanuel Macron hosted Volodymyr Zelensky at the Elysee Palace in France, where the pair announced a deal to provide Kyiv with 100 Rafale fighter jets. The French president said he hoped that a peace deal to end the war in Ukraine could be struck as early as next year, or before the French presidential election in April 2027.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Nov. 16 that congressional Republicans are preparing legislation that would impose sanctions on any country doing business with Russia. "Any country that does business with Russia will be very severely sanctioned," Trump told reporters in Palm Beach, Florida. He added that Iran may also be included in the new sanctions package. The forthcoming legislation would build on a series of actions the Trump administration has taken in recent months. In October, the administration announced its first sanctions against Moscow, targeting Russia's two largest oil companies, Rosneft and Lukoil, along with their subsidiaries. Most recently, however, the U.S. Treasury Department delayed sanctions on Lukoil — originally scheduled to take effect Nov. 21 — to allow the company time to sell off its foreign assets. Earlier this year, Washington also imposed 50% tariffs on India, one of the largest importers of Russian oil, citing New Delhi's continued purchases despite warnings that secondary sanctions could follow if Moscow failed to advance peace efforts in Ukraine. Trump offered no additional details about the sanctions legislation under development but said Iran would likely be among the targets. Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Iran has served as a critical Kremlin ally, supplying weapons and military equipment to Moscow's war effort. Ukraine and Greece have signed a deal to import American liquefied natural gas to Ukraine for the first quarter of 2026, as Ukraine seeks to secure energy supplies amid continued Russian strikes on its infrastructure. This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a joint press conference with Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis in Athens. “Our agreements with Greece today are a key part of the broader energy package we’ve been preparing to ensure Ukraine has sufficient gas this winter,” Zelensky said. The gas import deal comes at a critical moment for Ukraine moment as it suffers regular Russian attacks on its energy infrastructure leading to emergency power cuts in many cities, including the capital, Kyiv. These strikes have left the country urgently seeking new equipment and 4.4 bcm of gas needed to get through the wintr. According to Mitsotakis, U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) will be transported via the so-called "vertical corridor" from the port of Alexandroupolis in Greece to Odesa in Ukraine, positioning Greece as Europe's new gateway for U.S. gas. The route connects Greece to Ukraine through Bulgaria, Romania, and Moldova. Zelenskyy also thanked international partners, particularly the United States, for their assistance in implementing the project. "We will be able to receive energy from the United States through Greece, because this is truly a global infrastructure located in Greece," he noted. The agreements cover both immediate gas supplies for the first quarter of 2026 and long-term arrangements aimed at strengthening Ukraine's energy security. Greek natural gas operator DEPA has reported that it signed a letter of intent with Ukraine’s state-owned oil and gas giant Naftogaz regarding the supply of natural gas to Ukraine for the winter period between December 2025 and March 2026.
