Drones Struck an Oil Refinery in Russia: What is Known About the Aftermath of the Attack

On the night of August 15, drones struck the oil refinery in Syzran, which is located in the Samara region of Russia.

Drones attacked an oil refinery in the city of Syzran in the Samara region, explosions were heard in the occupied city of Yenakiieve in the Donetsk region. US President Donald Trump is confident that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will not joke with him, while an American congressman believes that Trump is trying to buy time for a meeting with Putin. The US Secretary of the Treasury criticizes Europe for purchasing oil products from India based on Russian crude. Trump also did not rule out the possibility of reducing US troops in Europe as a way to convince Putin to reach a peace agreement on Ukraine.

As a result of the attack in Syzran, numerous explosions and falls were registered at the oil refinery, where a strong fire broke out.

On the night of August 15, massive drone attacks were reported in the city of Yenakiieve, which has been under occupation by Russian troops since 2014.

Local residents report numerous explosions and fires in the city, with likely military objects of the Russian army being the targets of the attack.

US President Donald Trump, during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on August 15, may be trying to buy time, according to American Congressman Mike Quigley.

The congressman claims that Putin only reacts to pressure, which he does not see in Trump, so the American president is trying to stretch negotiations over a long period, but this may only benefit the Kremlin.

Conclusion

The oil refinery in Syzran and the occupied city of Yenakiieve became targets of drone attacks. The duration and effectiveness of negotiations between Trump and Putin will be important for the future international situation.
