❗️Ukraine has clearly restarted its campaign against Russian oil refineries. After yesterday’s large-scale strike on Novokuybyshevsk, Ufa is now the latest target, with a fire reported at the refining complex in Bashkortostan. Located roughly 1,300-1,500 km from Ukraine, the Ufa hub is one of Russia’s largest refining centers and produces gasoline, diesel, lubricants and aviation fuel used across civilian and military logistics. #Russia
