MOSCOW, March 18. /TASS/. Oil refining in Russia may increase in 2025, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak told reporters.

"I think that perhaps even refining figures will be somewhat higher. Because last year we had, as you remember, various situations related to the shutdown of some oil refineries for repairs and situations related to shelling. Therefore, this year, taking into account the overall refining volumes, they will be somewhat higher," he said.

Novak also noted that oil refineries in Russia are operating normally, despite drone attacks, and that the domestic market is fully supplied with oil products. According to Novak, the government sees this based on the state of the stock market.
