According to the military, on June 20, units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine successfully struck the Tyumen Oil Refinery, known as "Antipinsky", located in the Tyumen region of the russian federation.

Currently, the results of this defeat are being specified in detail. The uniqueness of this operation lies in the geography of the launch, as the distance from the state border of Ukraine to the specified facility is over 2,000 kilometers.

The Tyumen Refinery is considered one of the largest oil refining enterprises in Western Siberia. Its production capacity reaches about 7.5-9 million tons of oil per year. The plant specializes in the production of diesel fuel, gasoline and other oil products, which, in particular, were supplied to meet the needs of the russian army.

This terminal is one of the key facilities for transshipment and storage of fuel and lubricants in Crimea and was directly used to meet the needs of the occupation group of troops.
