Refinery strikes

Volgograd region: UPDATE, October 2: Lukoil's Volgograd refinery stopped processing after that day's drone attack, Reuters reported on October 6, citing industry sources, as relayed by Meduza in English. Ukraine's General Staff had claimed the strike, and Governor Andrei Bocharov acknowledged a "massive drone attack on industrial infrastructure" without naming the plant. Lukoil has not commented.

Nationwide: no other strike, halt or restart at a Russian refinery was reported for October 6 or the night of October 6-7 at the time of writing.

The equivalent figure for September was 121.6mn tonnes, or 37%. Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said in early September that about 10% of Russian refining capacity was under repair, while Ukraine's defence ministry claimed on October 4 that 51% had been damaged.

Tit for tat

Russia's October 7 barrage killed at least 11 people in Ukraine, at least five of them in a Pryluky apartment block, on the morning after Zelenskiy warned of a massive strike. Russia followed the raid in which Moscow's mayor counted 650 drones with ballistic and cruise missiles on Kyiv, Dnipro and Zaporizhzhia, a day after Zelenskiy said Ukraine must be able to respond in kind. On the Russian side the damage reported is to fuel: Lukoil's Volgograd refinery is reported stopped and a depot that supplies Moscow's airports was reported burning, neither confirmed by Moscow. In the Black Sea, three merchant ships have been hit in two days inside the waters of two Nato members, and neither has named the attacker.

The ledgers

The running ledgers are kept as six public spreadsheets at permanent addresses. The first three are non-exhaustive, every row is sourced, and where only one side has spoken the row says so. Defence ministry figures are recorded as claims, and in the sabotage ledger attribution is given exactly as the authorities state it and no further. The fourth tracks what has happened to Ukraine's steel, iron ore, coke, ferroalloy and non-ferrous plants since 2021, grouped by owner. The fifth tracks strikes on data centres, telecoms, media and research sites; the sixth tracks refinery strikes.
