The Insider says four Russian refineries stopped refining in six days; Putin, carried by TASS, says the damage was repaired
On 25 September one report counted four Russian refineries halted after Ukrainian drone strikes. Within 15 minutes, two TASS reports carried Vladimir Putin saying Russia had repaired the damage and that Kyiv struck first. None of the three names a refinery or gives an independent check.
Two accounts. On 25 September The Insider reported that four Russian refineries "остановили переработку" (stopped refining) after Ukrainian drone attacks over the past six days. Soon after, TASS carried President Vladimir Putin saying Russia "repaired damage after Kiev's attacks".
| The Insider | TASS (Putin) | |
|---|---|---|
| State of the refineries | four stopped refining | damage repaired |
| Period | last six days | not stated |
| Refineries named | none in what we hold | none |
| Who struck first | not addressed | Kyiv, Putin says |
| Other figure | — | more than 100 ships damaged by Kyiv, Putin says |
How the claims are carried. TASS says Putin "highlighted" that Kyiv struck refineries first and "revealed" the ships figure. Both verbs treat his claims as facts. In its own voice, TASS calls Ukraine's government "the Kiev regime".
Who is heard. We hold three reports: one from The Insider and two from TASS. None quotes a Ukrainian official, a refinery operator or an independent analyst.
What is not settled. - Which four refineries The Insider means. We hold only its headline. - Whether "repaired" means back in operation, and from which date. - What the "more than 100 ships" figure counts, or where it comes from. - How much fuel output is lost, or for how long. No report we hold gives a volume.
What this is about. Ukraine has been hitting Russian oil refineries with long-range drones. This story is about how much damage that has done to Russia's fuel supply.
How it got here. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. Since then, both sides have attacked the other's energy system. Russia has struck Ukraine's power stations and grid in repeated waves since the autumn of 2022. Ukraine has sent drones hundreds of kilometres into Russia to hit refineries, oil depots and export terminals. That campaign grew through 2024. Each government calls its own strikes legitimate and the other's an attack on civilians. Which side started attacking energy sites is disputed. Putin's claim that Kyiv struck first is his account and has not been independently shown.
Who is involved, and why. - Russia is one of the world's largest oil producers. Its refineries make the petrol and diesel it uses at home and the fuel it sells abroad. Those sales pay for a large share of the state budget, and so for the war. - Ukraine says hitting the refineries cuts the money and fuel behind Russia's war effort. - The United States, the European Union and other G7 countries have sanctioned Russian oil since 2022 to reduce that same income.
What is at stake. A refinery that stops working means less fuel at home, where shortages push up pump prices. It also means fewer exports. If the damage is lasting, Russia loses revenue and fuel buyers elsewhere must look for other suppliers. If it is quickly repaired, as Putin says, the drone strikes cost Russia less than Ukraine intends.
Where it stands. The reports we hold, all published on 25 September, give opposite accounts. None gives an output figure or an independent check. We cannot yet say how much Russian refining capacity is offline.

Halted or repaired: what each report saysSide by side
| Outlet | What it says about the refineries | Who struck first | Attributed or asserted? |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Insider | Four stopped refining after Ukrainian drone attacks in six days | Not addressed | Stated in the outlet's own voice; no refinery named in the headline |
| TASS | Not addressed in what we hold | Kyiv, Putin says ("highlighted") | Attributed to Putin; the verb treats it as a point made |
| TASS | Russia repaired the damage, Putin says | — | Attributed to Putin; the ships figure is presented as "revealed" |
We hold the headline of The Insider's report and the headline and first line of each TASS report. None names a refinery or gives an output figure.

The bias in this coverageBias
Halted, by one count; repaired, by Putin's
One report counts four refineries halted in six days. Two carry only Putin's account, and their verbs give it weight. None quotes Ukraine or anyone independent on the damage.
1 reports that count the refineries halted
2 reports that carry only Putin's account
0 reports that quote a Ukrainian source
0 reports that give an independent check on repairs
Scored without the mastheads. Where the two passes differ, both are kept.

— state-controlledCarries Putin's claim that the damage was repaired, and his figure of more than 100 ships damaged by "the Kiev regime".
ST. PETERSBURG, September 25. /TASS/. Ukraine was the first to start strikes against Russian civilian infrastructure and merchant ships in the Black Sea, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters. The Ukrainian army started striking Russian refineries since summer and "announced a start of a 40-day operation in June," the head of state noted. "Well, it resulted in certain losses from our side. Furthermore, an attempt was made to organize a sea blockade of our Black Sea coast. They damaged more than 100 ships, 100 vessels - both Russian and the ones flying foreign flags. Yes, we restored
Claim given weight by the verb: 'Revealed' presents an unverified figure as a disclosure. — “the head of state revealed”
Label for the other side: The Ukrainian government is called a 'regime' in the report's own voice. — “The Kiev regime damaged more than 100 ships”
Single source outcome: The headline states the repairs on Putin's word alone, with no independent check. — “Russia repaired damage after Kiev’s attacks — Putin”
Endorsing verb: 'revealed' presents a claim as a disclosure; 'Kiev regime' is the report's own phrase — “The Kiev regime damaged more than 100 ships, the head of state revealed”
Damage framed as repaired: leads with the repair, on Putin's word, not with the outage — “Russia repaired damage after Kiev’s attacks — Putin”

— state-controlledCarries Putin's claim that Kyiv was first to strike refineries and civilian infrastructure, introduced with "highlighted".
ST. PETERSBURG, September 25. /TASS/. Kiev started attacking Russian civilian infrastructure and should now feel the response, Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters. Kiev was the first to start delivering strikes against Russian refineries, Wildberries marketplace warehouses, and other noncombatant facilities. "They started all that. They started for every position. What, is it a joke? Is that the child’s play? So they should feel these retaliatory Russian strikes," the head of state stressed.
Claim given weight by the verb: 'Highlighted' treats Putin's claim about who struck first as a point made, not a point disputed. — “The Russian leader highlighted that Kiev had been the first to start delivering strikes against refineries”
Blame attributed: Putin's claim that Kyiv struck first is carried as 'Putin says' — “It was Kiev to start attacking civilian infrastructure, Putin says”
Endorsing verb: 'highlighted' treats a disputed claim as a point already made — “The Russian leader highlighted that Kiev had been the first”

НПЗ «Лукойл-Пермнефтеоргсинтез» в Перми полностью остановил переработку нефти после атаки беспилотников 25 сентября, сообщает Reuters со ссылкой на три источника в отрасли. Это уже четвертый российский НПЗ, остановивший переработку после ударов украинских дронов с 20 сентября: ранее работу прекратили Московский, Куйбышевский и Новошахтинский НПЗ. По данным источников Reuters, в результате атаки на Пермский НПЗ были повреждены и загорелись межцеховые трубопроводы, резервуары с нефтепродуктами в товарно-сырьевом парке, а также отдельные установки вторичной переработки.
