In the aggressor country of russia, three oil refineries partially stopped work because they could not complete scheduled repairs in October. This is related to sanctions, reports the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine.
We are talking about Volgograd, Ilsk and Yaisk refineries.
"The shutdown of the refineries is predicted to have a negative impact on the domestic volumes of oil refining, the fulfillment of export obligations, will worsen the situation with the supply of fuel to the domestic market, and will increase the costs of maintenance and modernization of enterprises," the message says.
It is reported that the real reasons for the downtime of the refinery in the russian federation are limited access to Western equipment and components due to international sanctions and the impossibility of replacing foreign spare parts necessary for the maintenance and modernization of the refineries.
"Actually, the russian import substitution program has not produced significant results. Actually, russian equipment manufacturers provide only about 30-45% of the market's needs and only in some components (pumps, compressors, reactors, etc.)," the intelligence says.
In addition, the russian federation failed to use China as an alternative supplier of equipment, as Chinese technologies are not always compatible with russian equipment, which sometimes requires a complete replacement of equipment and significantly increases repair and maintenance costs, the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine added.
It will be recalled that the supply of goods from Europe to russia collapsed to a minimum for a quarter of a century.
