Ukraine Strikes Russia’s Largest Oil Transshipment Port at Ust-Luga
(MENAFN) Ukraine’s military announced Tuesday that it carried out a nighttime operation targeting the Ust-Luga oil terminal, described as Russia’s largest hub for transferring petroleum products.
According to statements from the General Staff, the attack resulted in damage at the site.
Initial information, as stated by reports, indicates that three storage tanks operated by Transneft-Baltika in the Leningrad region were affected.
“This facility is an important element of Russia’s petroleum export infrastructure, revenues from which are used to sustain armed aggression against Ukraine,” it added.
Authorities in the Leningrad region also reported defensive actions during the incident, with Governor Alexander Drozdenko saying that multiple drones were intercepted over the area.
The General Staff further noted that an earlier strike on April 5 targeted another oil facility, the Transneft-Port Primorsk terminal, situated along the northeastern shoreline of the Gulf of Finland in the Baltic Sea. That attack reportedly caused damage to three large-capacity storage units.
“The RVSP-20000 is a 20,000 m³ capacity tank — a standard design used for long-term storage of oil, petroleum products, and other flammable liquids,” it added.
Additional details, according to reports, confirm that the April 5 operation also impacted the Lukoil-Nizhegorodnefteorgsintez facility in the city of Kstovo, located in the Nizhny Novgorod region. Key components of crude oil processing systems, including AVT-6 and AVT-1 units, along with Unit 19/6 used in bitumen production, were reportedly damaged.
