Quote: "May's 18...

During May, the freedom-loving Ukrainian Bird [the Unmanned Systems Forces – ed.] marked the occupier's oil-refining industry's fiery coming of age – 18+: Moscow, Saratov, Tuapse, Volgograd, Yaroslavl, Novorossiysk, Grushovaya, Syzran, Kstovo, Ryazan, Taman, Perm, Kirishi, Samara, the Yaroslavl oil pipeline control station, Primorsk, Taganrog, the Astrakhan Gas Processing Plant and Orenburg."

Details: Brovdi added that drones set crude oil and gas processing units and storage tanks on fire: "More than half of the facilities on the list were shut down or suspended operations at some point during the month."

Ukrainian forces have also struck oil depots, an oil terminal in Feodosiia, as well as a number of oil pumping stations and chemical plants in May.
