Ukraine
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, filling stations became part of the country's critical civilian infrastructure. Russian missile and drone attacks damaged or destroyed numerous retail fuel stations, particularly in frontline regions such as Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, Kharkiv and Chernihiv oblasts. In July 2026, Reuters reported that Russian forces had intensified attacks on filling stations, striking multiple retail fuel sites in Dnipropetrovsk and Chernihiv oblasts. According to Ukrainian officials, the attacks were aimed at disrupting fuel supplies and logistics in frontline areas.
