"The Saratov Oil Refinery is part of the Rosneft group and is one of the key oil refineries in the Volga region. Its design capacity is around 7 million tonnes of crude oil per year. The plant produces petrol, diesel and aviation fuel, which are used, in particular, to support the aggressor state’s military logistics," the statement reads.

"TAIF-NK" is one of the largest oil refining complexes in the Russian Federation, comprising the refinery itself, a petrol plant and a complex for the deep processing of heavy residues. The plant’s designed crude oil refining capacity exceeds 7 million tonnes per year, and taking all types of feedstock into account, its total capacity exceeds 8 million tonnes. The plant’s products include diesel fuel, petrol, aviation fuel and other petroleum products used to support the Russian economy and military logistics.
