[Fire at Russian Oil Facility Prompts Ukraine to Resume Attacks] ⑴ A fire is suspected at a large crude oil pumping station and storage facility in Russia's Volga region, according to NASA satellite imagery, prompting Ukraine to resume attacks on Russian oil assets. ⑵ The Samara oil pumping station is a crucial hub in Russia's crude oil pipeline network, with a storage capacity exceeding 1.6 million cubic meters, handling supplies from western Siberia and Kazakhstan. ⑶ Late last week, Ukraine resumed attacks on Russian oil assets after a nearly two-week hiatus, in response to deadly attacks on its civilian infrastructure. ⑷ Over the weekend, Ukraine attacked a Rosneft refinery in Bashkortostan and a Lukoil oil processing facility in Nizhny Novgorod.
