Russia's largest Moscow oil refinery, owned by Gazprom, halted crude processing after a Ukrainian drone attack on September 20, with repairs potentially taking weeks. Both primary crude distillation units caught fire after drones struck the facility, according to Reuters sources. The AVT-6 unit has a capacity of 21,400 metric tons daily, while the EURO+ unit processes 18,800 tons. In 2024, the refinery processed 11.6 million tons of crude, producing 2.9 million tons of gasoline and 3.2 million tons of diesel. It supplies about 40% of Moscow's fuel market and 70% of the region's gasoline and aviation fuel needs.
