Ukrainian Military Confirms Attacks on Russian Oil Facilities in Bryansk and Samara. Actions Aim to Reduce Exports and Affect Logistics of the Russian Army.
The military of the Ukraine announced new attacks on the infrastructure of Russian oil during the early hours of this Tuesday, the 23rd. Important targets in the regions of Bryansk and Samara were hit, according to a statement released by the General Staff in Kyiv.
The actions are part of the strategy to weaken Moscow’s export revenues and compromise the supply of troops on the battlefield.
Impact in Samara: Vital Station for Urals Exports
In Samara, Ukrainians attacked a production station responsible for mixing Urals oil, the main export benchmark of Russia. The location also functions as a pumping station integrated into the pipeline network that supplies the port of Novorossiisk, on the Black Sea. Additionally, it receives shipments from Kazakhstan, which go both to Russian ports and to the Druzhba pipeline, used for supply to Germany.

Bryansk: Target Linked to Russian Military Support
In the region of Bryansk, the offensive targeted a production station belonging to a pipeline considered essential for the supplies of the Russian Army. The facility is part of the petroleum product depot of Naytopovichi, a location that has already suffered several Ukrainian offensives throughout the year.
“The extent of the damage is being assessed,” the military stated in a note.
Escalation of Drone Attacks
In recent weeks, Kyiv has intensified the use of long-range drones to target refineries, ports, and fuel depots. The Russian monopoly on pipelines, Transneft, had already warned producers that production cuts could occur due to the sequence of attacks.
Despite the offensive, Moscow maintains plans to increase the loading volume at the Novorossiisk port in September, according to the announced schedule.
The Russian Ministry of Defense stated on Telegram that its units shot down enemy drones over Bryansk and Samara. However, there was no official comment on the damage to energy facilities. Additionally, Kyiv claimed that its forces also hit a military aviation field in Crimea, destroying two Russian aircraft.
