Скріншоти ударів ЗСУ по російській нафті на Балтиці

Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdi (call sign “Magyar”) 26 March 2026 reported a series of strikes on Russia’s oil infrastructure in the Baltic region. This concerns the so-called “oil triangle” — Primorsk, Ust-Luga and Kirishi, which supplies exports of crude via the Baltic Sea.

According to him, between 23–26 March Ukrainian forces inflicted comprehensive strikes on key nodes of this logistics system. As a result, there were disruptions in the transshipment and transportation of oil, and large fires were recorded at the facilities.

In particular, on 23 March the terminal in Primorsk was shut down. On the same day the terminal in Ust-Luga, which had previously also been attacked, partially resumed operations. However, already on 25 March this facility was struck again and caught fire. The next day, 26 March, the Kirishi Oil Refinery was hit; it is one of the largest in the region and plays a key role in processing Siberian crude for subsequent shipment to ports for export.

According to Brovdi, strikes on these three facilities effectively created a “bottleneck” in the enemy’s oil logistics. This complicates exports and, accordingly, reduces revenue that Russia uses to finance the war against Ukraine. The operation was carried out by deep-strike units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, notably involving unmanned systems and in coordination with the Security Service of Ukraine. The consequences of the strikes are still being clarified.
