The report details the costs incurred by the UK in mitigating the consequences, restoring infrastructure, and strengthening resilience due to Russian hybrid activities.

According to sources from Reuters, the AVT-10 unit, which accounts for approximately 38% of the refinery's capacity, was damaged at that time. The extent of the damage from the latest attack is currently being clarified.
This is not the first attack on the facility. In July 2026, after drone strikes, the refinery was forced to suspend operations.
The largest oil refinery in Russia is burning. With a design capacity of 21-22 million tons of oil per year, the Omsk refinery is the most important of enterprises in the Russian oil industry.
Seoul stated that there was an agreement between the parties to keep the transfer confidential, primarily for the safety of the prisoners of war themselves and their families in North Korea. The Ukrainian side denies the existence of such an agreement, which has led to the diplomatic dispute.
The individuals in question are two North Korean soldiers who were captured by Ukrainian forces in January 2025 during fighting in the Kursk region. They arrived in South Korea in September.
This was reported on October 8 by the Yonhap news agency, citing the South Korean Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The dispute arose after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy mentioned the transfer of the prisoners of war to South Korea during a speech at the UN General Assembly.
South Korea is recalling its ambassador from Ukraine amid a diplomatic dispute over the disclosure of information regarding the transfer of two North Korean prisoners of war to Seoul, who had been fighting on the side of Russia.

The refinery has repeatedly come under Ukrainian attack, including May 9, 2024; September 18 and 24, 2025; and July 14 and August 13, 2026.
