In one week, Ukraine’s SBU hit five oil refineries, a Crimean aircraft plant, and two Su-35 jets

What Ukraine’s security service achieved in its latest round of strikes

According to ХВИЛЯ: Ukraine’s Security Service carried out strikes over the past week that hit five Russian refineries, an aviation plant in occupied Crimea, two Su-35 fighter jets, and four radar stations. The operation was approved by President Volodymyr Zelensky and was aimed at reducing Russia’s military and economic potential. Targets were located in Perm Krai, Volgograd, Ufa, Krasnodar Krai, Crimea, and occupied areas of Donetsk Oblast.

Facilities damaged and destroyed

Among the refineries struck was Lukoil-Permnefteorgsintez in Perm Krai, a facility with a capacity of nearly 13 million tonnes per year, where a fire broke out at a primary oil-processing unit. Another Lukoil refinery, Volgogradneftepererabotka in Volgograd, was also hit; it can process around 15 million tonnes of oil annually. In Ufa, the Bashneft-UNPZ, Bashneft-Novoyl, and Bashneft-Ufaneftekhim plants were all targeted, with a combined capacity of more than 23 million tonnes per year.

At the Khanskaya military airfield near Maykop, strikes confirmed hits on two Su-35 fighters, two L-39 trainer aircraft, a fuel storage area, and other airfield infrastructure. In Krasnodar Krai, three Podlyot-K1 radar stations and one Kasta-2E2 radar were destroyed, while a fire also broke out at port infrastructure in Taman.

The operation also destroyed ammunition and military-equipment depots in Obryv, Chystiakove, Mariupol, and Krasnoperekopsk, as well as fuel and lubricant storage sites in Gukovo, Marynivka, Lahidne, Volnovakha, and Piatykhatky. These actions show Ukraine’s broader effort to weaken Russia’s military capabilities as the full-scale war continues.

Because the campaign was authorized at the highest level, it signals Kyiv’s determination to continue striking targets deep inside Russian-held territory.

These attacks reflect a deliberate strategy of hitting critical Russian infrastructure, which can disrupt military supply lines and put economic pressure on Moscow. By going after refineries, radar systems, airfields, and supply depots, Ukraine is working to limit the resources available to Russian forces and reduce their ability to sustain combat operations.

As Ukraine intensifies its military operations, the recent strikes are part of a broader strategy to undermine Russia's energy infrastructure.
