SOF drones struck the Lazarevo station on the Surgut-Polotsk oil pipeline and the Agroproduct oil depot. These facilities are key nodes for Russia's exports and logistics.
On the night of May 31, drones of the Special Operations Forces of Ukraine struck important Russian oil infrastructure facilities. The "Lazarevo" production and dispatch station in the Kirov region and the "Agroprodukt" oil depot in the Rostov region were hit. This was reported by the SOF, according to UNN.
Details
The "Lazarevo" station, located nearly 1,200 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, is a key hub of the "Surgut-Polotsk" main oil pipeline, which transports oil from Siberia to Baltic ports and Belarus. It is also connected to the "Druzhba" pipeline, allowing Russia to promptly redistribute raw material flows between the largest pipeline systems in the European part of the country.
In addition, Deep Strike units of the SOF hit the "Agroprodukt" oil depot in the village of Matveyev Kurgan, Rostov region. The facility is located near the Ukrainian border and features fuel storage tanks, road and rail loading terminals, as well as a pumping station.
The Special Operations Forces emphasized that the strikes on the enemy's oil refining and logistics infrastructure are aimed at reducing Russia's economic capabilities to continue the war against Ukraine. Information regarding the extent of damage at both facilities is being clarified.
