Ukraine Strikes Belets Oil Depot in Bryansk Oblast — Fuel Supply to Russian Front Lines Disrupted

On May 26, 2026, Ukrainian forces struck the Belets oil depot in Bryansk Oblast, Russia. The facility supplies fuel to Russian military units along the eastern and northern front lines, and its destruction is expected to complicate Russian logistics and fuel supply chains. Fires were also reported near a military airfield in Voronezh (southeastern Russia), with smoke visible from the facilities — consistent with additional Ukrainian long-range drone strikes. Ukraine's 2026 deep-strike energy infrastructure campaign has cost Russia an estimated $9+ billion in energy sector losses, targeting over a dozen refineries, oil terminals, and depots from Tuapse in the Krasnodar Krai to Kirishi in Leningrad Oblast. Ukraine's long-range drone campaign has also forced Russian authorities to restrict airspace over the Moscow air zone on multiple occasions.
