Information on the current losses of the Russian Federation due to sanctions as of 06/11/2026.
1. On the night of June 11, Ukrainian UAVs launched a massive attack on the Krasnodar region.
– One of the main targets was the Afipsky oil refinery in the Seversky district. The Afipsky refinery is one of the largest in southern Russia, with a capacity of up to 9.1 million tons of oil per year and an actual processing of about 7.2 million tons in 2024.
– The enterprise produces gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel aimed at export. According to Ukrainian sources, its products may be used by the Russian army, and the plant has repeatedly become a target of attacks.
– In 2024, a drone attack on the enterprise was reported in February. In 2025, strikes were recorded at least on August 7, August 28, and September 26. During the August attack, the gas and gas condensate processing unit was stopped, and in September, the primary oil processing unit was damaged. In 2026, fires at the enterprise already occurred after attacks on January 21 and March 14.
2. One of the largest oil refineries in the Volga region, the Kuybyshev refinery in the Samara region, halted oil processing after a Ukrainian drone strike on June 10.
– As a result of the attack and subsequent fire, both primary oil processing units AVT-4 and AVT-5 were damaged, each with a capacity of about 10,000 tons per day.
– The Kuybyshev refinery is part of the Samara group of Rosneft enterprises, along with the Novokuybyshev and Syzran refineries, and is one of the key oil processing centers in the Volga region. The nominal capacity of the plant is 7 million tons of oil per year.
– In 2024, the enterprise processed 4.7 million tons of raw materials and produced about 800,000 tons of gasoline, 1.4 million tons of diesel fuel, and 1.3 million tons of fuel oil.
– The strike on the Kuybyshev refinery intensified the crisis in the Samara oil processing cluster. The Syzran refinery has not been operational since the May 21 attack and has not yet resumed production, while the Novokuybyshev refinery continues to operate at reduced capacity after the April 18 strike.
– The series of attacks on refineries forces Russian companies to reduce processing, increases repair costs, and deepens problems with the production of oil products, which are critically important for both the domestic market and military needs.
3. In Russia, the rise in gasoline prices has accelerated against the backdrop of the fuel crisis.
– In Russia, gasoline prices are rapidly increasing. According to Rosstat, from June 2 to June 8, the average fuel price at gas stations rose by 0.9%, marking the largest weekly jump since the beginning of the year. Prior to this, there was a sharp increase in the wholesale market.
– Since the beginning of 2026, wholesale gasoline prices in Russia have increased by 30–40%, indicating a serious supply deficit and issues with fuel production.
– Since the start of the year, gasoline in retail sales has risen by 5.6%, and diesel fuel by 4.8%. The rate of increase in fuel prices is already significantly outpacing general inflation, which was 3.5% over the same period.
– The situation is linked to a reduction in oil product production following a series of Ukrainian strikes on oil refining infrastructure.
– Price increases for gasoline have been recorded in 79 regions of Russia. The worst situation is observed in the occupied Sevastopol, where due to a fuel shortage, prices jumped by 7.5% in a week, and gasoline sales are being conducted with coupons.
4. The gasoline shortage has already spread to 25 regions of Russia due to strikes on oil refining infrastructure.
– The fuel crisis in Russia continues to escalate. According to Russian media, at least 25 regions of the country have already faced gasoline shortages and supply disruptions.
– At the beginning of June, issues were reported in 15 regions, but within a few days, the situation noticeably worsened. One of the key reasons was a series of Ukrainian strikes on oil refining infrastructure.
– From January to May 2026, Russian oil refineries suffered 38 attacks, with 16 strikes recorded in May alone — the most for the entire period of full-scale war.
– The consequences of the attacks are already affecting the industry. According to OilX, loading of Russian refineries has decreased by 14% since the start of the year and remains approximately 20% below pre-war levels. This limits the production of gasoline and diesel fuel, creating additional pressure on the domestic market.
5. The largest energy holding in Russia warned of the risk of default.
– Russia’s largest generating company, RusHydro, which accounts for about 12% of electricity production in the country, warned of the risk of default due to a rapid increase in debts.
– According to the company’s forecast, by the end of 2027, its net debt will increase to 1.3 trillion rubles. RusHydro notes that this could lead to a violation of loan agreements and even cross-defaults, where problems with one loan automatically spread to all debt obligations.
– The company names a large-scale investment program, the unprofitability of Far Eastern assets, and a prolonged period of high-interest rates as reasons for financial difficulties.
– To finance energy projects in the Far East, which require over 1 trillion rubles over the next five years, the government extended the moratorium on dividend payments for RusHydro until 2029.
– Amidst this news, the company’s shares on the Moscow Exchange fell by 10%, hitting a historic low, dropping below the levels of the 2008 crisis. RusHydro’s problems indicate growing financial pressure on major state-owned companies in Russia, which are increasingly struggling with expensive loans and high costs.
6. The Russian stock market continues to lose ground.
– After the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which was supposed to demonstrate the resilience of the economy, investor pessimism only intensified. The MOEX index dropped to 2484 points — the lowest level since last October.
– Since the March peak, the market has already lost about 15%, and the capitalization of Russian companies has decreased by 3 trillion rubles since the beginning of the year.
– Shares of the largest Russian companies showed a particularly sharp decline. RusHydro shares plummeted by 10% following warnings of default risks, and shares of oil and gas giants also continued to fall.
– The situation in the construction sector is also deteriorating: shares of one of the country’s largest developers have lost up to 30% of their value over the month. Investors are increasingly disillusioned with the prospects of the Russian economy.
– A high key rate, a strong ruble affecting exporters, a lack of progress in ending the war against Ukraine, and increased sanction pressure continue to worsen business sentiment.
– Expectations of positive signals from the forum were not met, and the market received yet another confirmation that the structural problems of the Russian economy are only accumulating.
– Despite high oil prices, the Russian stock market shows no signs of recovery. Since pre-war levels, the capitalization of Russian companies has already shrunk by approximately 13 trillion rubles. This indicates growing investor distrust towards the prospects of the country’s economy, which is increasingly suffering from the consequences of war, sanctions, and internal financial imbalances.
7. FIDE suspended Russia’s membership due to chess tournaments in occupied territories of Ukraine.
– The International Chess Federation (FIDE) decided to suspend Russia’s membership for three months due to holding chess tournaments in the occupied territories of Ukraine.
– The decision is related to the organization of tournaments in Crimea, as well as the occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions.
– Previously, the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS) obliged the Russian Chess Federation to stop holding such tournaments following Ukraine’s lawsuit.
– FIDE warned that non-compliance with the court’s requirements could lead to harsher sanctions, including a three-year disqualification of the Russian federation. The decision represents another international blow to Russia’s positions in world sports. Despite historically strong chess traditions, the country’s influence in this discipline is gradually decreasing.
– After the start of the full-scale war against Ukraine, dozens of leading Russian chess players opposed the aggression, and over 200 athletes changed sporting citizenship, refusing to represent Russia on the international stage.
8. Russian state messenger Max was removed from Huawei’s store outside Russia.
– The Kremlin-promoted messenger Max has faced new issues. After being removed from the App Store, the app became unavailable in Huawei’s AppGallery for users outside Russia.
– When using foreign IP addresses, Max no longer appears in the AppGallery search, and the app page does not open even with direct links. The app remains accessible only to users with a Russian IP address.
– Thus, the Russian “national messenger,” which the authorities are trying to position as an alternative to Western services, effectively loses access to the international audience.
– Previously, on June 3rd, Max also disappeared from Apple’s App Store.
– While the Kremlin attempts to create its own controlled internet ecosystem, Russian IT products are losing access to international platforms and are effectively confined within the Russian market.
