Industry experts estimate that Ukraine\u2019s campaign of long-range drone strikes on Russia\u2019s energy industry has already succeeded in knocking out between 600,000 and 900,000 barrels of Russia\u2019s daily oil-refining capacity, Bloomberg<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking at a conference in Houston on March 18, Gunvor Group CEO Torbj\u00f6rn T\u00f6rnqvist estimated the recent wave of Ukrainian drone attacks had reduced Russian capacity by approximately 600,000 barrels per day. Meanwhile, JPMorgan Chase analysts report that Ukraine\u2019s drone strikes have taken around 900,000 barrels of daily Russian oil-refining capacity offline and predict that it could be \u201cseveral weeks, if not months\u201d until capacity is fully restored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ukraine launched a bombing campaign against Russia\u2019s oil and gas industry in January 2024 using domestically produced long-range drones. According to Kyiv officials, these air strikes are designed to starve the Russian invasion force inside Ukraine of fuel while also undermining the economic foundations of Vladimir Putin\u2019s war machine. On March 1, Russia imposed a six-month ban<\/a> on gasoline exports in a move widely linked to Ukraine\u2019s drone attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since the beginning of 2024, Ukraine has successfully targeted more than a dozen Russian refineries, leading to production halts and damage to critical infrastructure. With the majority of Russia\u2019s air defense systems currently deployed in Ukraine, the Kremlin is struggling to defend against Ukraine\u2019s drone attacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Industry experts estimate that Ukraine\u2019s campaign of long-range drone strikes on Russia\u2019s energy industry has already succeeded in knocking out between 600,000 and 900,000 barrels of Russia\u2019s daily oil-refining capacity, Bloomberg reports.
