Tuapse Refinery Boosted Exports Ahead of Latest Strikes
REFINING

- The refinery was hit again May 17 after the latest Ukrainian drone attacks.
- A source told Reuters that drones had struck the LPG unit at the refinery but that the crude distillation unit (CDU) was not damaged. The damage could potentially be bypassed.
