Ukrainian drones just hit the Novoshakhtinsk refinery in Rostov. Explosions and fires.
Agreed the perpetual paranoid aggressive “victims”
In Russian mir, only the invasions of their lands count, the invasions of neighbors, alliance with nazi Germany…. are memory holed , much like they can launch drone attacks daily, but when Ukraine does it is a terrorist act

Long lines for gasoline in Russia today:
Fuel Stations Packed in Russian Far East As Drone Strikes Cause Shortages
OilPrice.com (Aug 20)
“Russia’s Far East is grappling with acute fuel shortages after a new wave of Ukrainian drone strikes forced multiple refineries offline, squeezing supplies just as seasonal demand rises.
According to The Moscow Times, queues have formed at filling stations in Khabarovsk and Primorsky regions, with some depots rationing gasoline as refiners halt operations for repairs. The outages come on top of cumulative damage that has sidelined nearly 13% of Russia’s refining capacity in recent months.
Ukrainian outlets including NV.ua reported that Moscow has extended limits on refined product exports in a bid to stabilize domestic availability, while retail fuel prices are already moving higher. Russian media confirmed that at least seven refineries have been targeted over the past three weeks, underscoring the scale of disruption.
Energy analysts note that while Russia has been able to maintain crude oil exports by rerouting flows, refined products are more difficult to substitute, especially in remote regions reliant on local output. Attacks in Saratov, Ryazan, Samara, and Volgograd, as well as Rosneft’s facilities in Siberia, have hit gasoline and diesel supplies harder than crude.
The implications extend beyond domestic markets. Russia’s refined product exports fell sharply in July following refinery outages, tightening diesel availability in Europe and Asia. With BP’s new discovery off Brazil and ExxonMobil’s ramp-up in Guyana set to add crude volumes globally, the mismatch between crude availability and refined product shortages highlights the vulnerabilities of Russia’s fuel system under sustained drone pressure.
