The Omsk refinery lies roughly 2,700 km from Ukrainian-held territory, near Russia's border with Kazakhstan.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because Russia has resumed hitting Ukraine's grid substations heading into a war-strained year and just opened a new front across the Oskil river near Kupiansk, threatening both civilian heat and a fresh Ukrainian defensive collapse.
