The Kremenchug plant was destroyed as a result of missile strikes last year, and the plant in Drohobych has been inactive for about 15 years.
Tonight, during a massive attack, Russian missiles hit two oil refineries, but this will not affect the fuel market in Ukraine in any way, since the enterprises have not been working for a long time, Serhii Kuyun, director of the “A-95” Consulting Group, said on Facebook.
“A new missile attack on the Kremenchuk and Drohobytsky oil refineries. The first was already killed by more than 30 previous missiles, the second has been standing for about 15 years,” he wrote.
According to the expert, the Ukrainian fuel market operates and provides surplus supplies not only without Russian fuel, but without the operation of these two plants.
Kuyun added that the Russians hit non-working factories, so this will not affect the market situation in any way. However, one should not forget that the enemy is hunting the Ukrainian energy industry.
“Firstly, we must remind everyone that the fuel infrastructure remains under the crosshairs, we should not relax. Secondly, we must understand that there will be no consequences for the market, not everyone knows that they are not working here either,” he explained . .
