What specific Russian regions and facilities did Ukraine target in its resumed refinery strikes, and what was the official Ukrainian confirmation?

Ukraine targeted oil-processing plants in Russia’s Perm region and Tatarstan overnight, as confirmed by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a Telegram statement on Monday: 'Our long-range forces have been used against oil refineries in the Perm region and Tatarstan.' The strike followed a four-day pause and came after Ukraine hit the major Ryazan refinery on Sunday — marking the resumption of such deep-strike operations inside Russia.

How have Ukraine’s attacks on Russian refineries affected Russia’s domestic fuel supply and export policy?

Ukraine’s sustained strikes on Russian refineries have caused Russia’s production of road fuels to 'nosedive,' prompting the Russian government to impose temporary bans on most exports of gasoline and diesel; according to Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak, the diesel-export ban remains in force through September and will be lifted only once domestic inventories are refilled.
