Russia had fuel shortages last summer, as harvest season increased diesel consumption. It seems like Ukraine wants to repeat that this winter. This is Russias third largest refinery and Russia is a big country, so by taking one out, they have to transport the fuel over large distances.

and oil refineries are large, complicated and very expensive targets
With the know-how from western companies who have left no longer accessible, and sanctioned items no longer available, it might be quite complicated or impossible to fix a lot of things.
I heard of an intetesting idea which is that if you disable the pipeline (refining, transport) even for some months, you might have to stop the oil wells, and even if there were no sanctions and the knowledgeable people were around it might be impossible to get a well running again.
Slava Ukraine!
i like the way you're thinking
Well done!
