According to Kovalenko, this refinery is one of the largest in Russia. The refinery, which consists of several enterprises, has a total capacity of about 20 million tons of oil per year.

“Ufa is one of the largest oil refining centers in Russia. In terms of total refining volumes, the Bashkortostan region is among the top 5 oil refining centers in the country,” emphasized the head of the CCD.

The refinery is of strategic importance to the Russian army as it is part of a group of companies that provide it with fuel.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, according to Kovalenko, the attacked seaport in Tuapse is one of the key Russian cargo ports on the Black Sea.
